Clarke MIG welders are the most highly recommended budget hobby welders on the MIG welding forum, so as long as you get one in a decent condition you shouldnt go too wrong. But shop around before you do buy a welder, its a lot of money to be spent on 1 tool and you really don't want to get a duff.

I bought my welder for £95, i stupidly didnt see it running and it ended up needing a new swan neck (£11) and gas block (£22), as the gas block was leaking and the thread of the swan neck was damaged. So make sure you get to have a look at the MIG before you buy, or if you're going down the ebay route to confirm with the seller that there are no gas leaks, its in full working order and that you wont need to buy anything other than new tips, shroud, wire and gas (Consumables) to get it going. If the seller doesnt know, or gives you some excuse as to why they cant test it with then i'd personally walk away.

I hope my post has helped.
