I keep tempting, each time I get the offer cards through the post I have to spend out on something else.
I think I will go the gasless route for the amount that I will use it.

Get a gas/gasless unit, like the Clarke 151EN, then when you realise that you want nice looking welds you just buy the regulator, wire and some bottles of gas.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

One of the greatest skills to have I think

Constantly making things with mine, and its great to have even if you just tack everything in place then get someone else to finish it off for you if its something you really dont want to mess up!.

Get one bought!

Well pleased with that price...
