I'm currently looking at replacing my current 100E clarke mig with a new machine as after 27 years of use it's getting a bit unreliable and it's safe to say it's on borrowed time, whilst browsing eBay I was thinking of a sealey supermig then I saw this www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274466418316 I've never heard of this brand and can't really find much in the line of reviews on line so I'm asking if anyone can shed any light on the brand or machine. Thanks Bryan |

That's the same brand as the plasma cutter I bought. It lasted less than a day.
I'm going to avoid cheap stuff like this now and treat it as an investment worth saving for.

It's coming from an unknown source in China despite saying it's sent from Leicestershire. If it does I would not want to be trying to get it sorted under warranty.
Get yourself over to the mig welding forum, lots of advice on new welders.
EDIT just seen you have already been there!

Chinese junk.
I have to be honest. You cant go far wrong with a second hand transformer based mig. As long as it's got a euro torch and the wire feed rollers arnt worn to shreads theres very little that can go wrong with them electrically (unlike the more modern machines).
