In the process of buying a good 2nd hand welder for the odd jobs here and there, mainly on the nova. It will only need to weld upto 3 to 4mm steel MAX. I'm looking to really only use it on 1.5-2mm.
I went to see a Snap On 130 turbo gas and no gas welder ( built by cebora I believe with the snap on name added). Cosmetically average on the outside (well used) but heard and saw it running minus gas. Has had handle, spool holder and wire feed roller replaced in recent years. Would need a gas reg but has half a large reel of wire.
Guy was not budging on £120. What's everyone's opinions on this? Need something local and easy to collect ideally.

I'm sure my new gas/gasless clarke mig welder from machine mart was only around 180/200 quid. At lest you get a guarantee with it

If your buying a second hand one, I'd ask to see it working. If someone is selling a welder they ought to be able to give a quick demonstration of it. If nothing else check that the wire is spooled out smoothly.

Saw this one weld and feed at all speeds. All seemed ok just wanted opinion on the price against this particular welder

I've just got a cebora 130 amp gas/gasless for £30 it's an older model but works perfectly fine for me (not really ever welded before)
