I work at a pub as it is so I can probably get cheap gas from there
Would you rate that Clarke highly then or is it not going to have a decent life span with regular use as I assume my series will need repairs every so often and I'll probably use it fo do stuff like fabricate a bumper once I'm good
I had a clarke minimig 100e for the best part of 20 years with fairly regular use before it gave up the ghost. 100 amps is not really enough for chassis repairs but it can be done. When I replaced it I bought another clarke, this time a 150 amp gas/gasless one which is more than powerful enough for chassis welding. Don't let people put you off clarke welders they are fine for people like us that just do stuff at home, although I might have a different opinion if I was welding every day for a living. As recommended by others go with the gas option, it works out cheaper and produces neater welds.
