I've spotted a mig welder on the bay of E, called a cobel

anyone heard of them? are they crap?

I was thinking it could be one of those american companies that no on has heard of but is quite good

Tried a google search which came up with nothing other than ebay listings which seems a bit dubious

Here is a link

Is it better to just stick with a lower power but more well known brand?

Cheers

Matt

Whoever wrote the advert doesn't sound like English is their first language Duel gas, thick gaged metal and the final ending price. I think I would send an email to there sails rep

Matt, I've learned from bitter experience to only buy equipment with a good reputation, fit for professional use and with a national network of service technicians.

I do have a couple of MIG welders for sale and both of which tick all the above boxes.

Supplied without a plug, its definitely coming from somewhere that uses goats as the main form of transport.

Regardless of anything else. It say's in the add that it's power rating is 65A to 119A, which is way to high for welding 1.5 or 1.6 mm steel, fine for battle ship building, Cheers Ray

15% duty cycle on max power says it all for me



EDIT:
Just looked at his other stuff... All looks like Far Eastern imports.
