just looked one up looks to be the sealey equivalent to my Clarke and should do fine if it all works fine and don't see any reason why it wouldn't

Ok so if it works then I have saved myself some cash.
What about visors? I would like one that you can see clearly to get into position then blanks off when you start welding. Anyone use these type visors?

Hate MIG...
To temperamental with thin stuff and too power hungry for thick stuff
Get a good stick/TIG inverter for the same price and have the best of both worlds
