gasless mig vs gas mig

[Dave]

You can buy the bottles from Halfrauds for about 15 quid if you get c02 which will last about half a day of constant welding, which in reality for the annual bodywork repair on a 306 etc is about 6 months worth of gas. I have a really really really decent welder which is piss easy to use, and I've used cheap ones which will do the same job, but will require hell more skill to achieve the same results, same with the gasless. They do work just really really difficult and hard to adapt to what your doing/style etc, so if you have monster skills then a cheap setup you will get good results, but if your already a decent skilled welder then you should have a decent welder. SIP do some decent ones ish, but they need the lance cleaning out all the time if you don't have constant use, and if there's ANY rust on the steel they just jam, where as a lincoln just ploughes through like an arc.
