Any one try one of those clarke EN180 mig welders?
Im looking to buy a 175amp mig pretty quick and I looking at all the options and wonder if any one has tried one of those clarke models.

These are about what the models Im looking at have been selling for.
Clarke EN180 400$
Hobart Handler 175 500$
Lincoln promig 175 500$
Millermatic 175 660$
Lincoln sp175Plus 750$

There is a well established (10yrs) local tool shop selling the clarke model's.Im sure parts are plentiful and thay service everything thay sell so I know there must be good support for them. I was just wondering if any one has or has used one?

Is the 4 or 6 heat setting really a problem? over the fuly variable settings?

Im just looking to build bumpers/sliders and be able to weld exhaust and eventually SAS welding needs.
