Screwfix Wolf products
Any opinions on these 2. Was considering buying both for myself, im not a pro so dont want to pay top dollar but still need something thats useable
for most things. Has anyone any experience of them?

this is a better compressor on paper, 3hp rather than 2 and £30 less.
The welder is gasless, ive never used one but they have a poor reputation. For a little more you could get a 'proper' one.

thanks thats really good. I want a gasless welder because I will be welding outdoors and I've read that once you get the settings right they can
be good.

I got the older version of the Wolf compressor some time ago and although it's OK in most respects & gives a reasonable spray finish if
you're painting, it's not up to blowing primer/filler nor is it powerful enough for most air tools. I'm actually thinking of getting
another one & running the two of them together. I mention this only as I see the Transtools one is out of stock. I really should have bought a
bigger one at the start.

I think im gonna wait for the transtool one to come back in to stock. Want to start with the biggest I can afford. Gonna ring them monday and see how
long it will be.

if anyone is considering the two compressor approach, it works well. With both mine running (only 3.5hp total iirc) i can get near continous use of
the die grinder and cut off tool. The latest is an aldi special.

I think its a false economy to buy a gasless mig. You should get a gas/gasless which will do both and if you don't buy a 150amp mig you will
regret it later. Just my opinion.

Id stay away from gasless myself. Gas is a far better weld.

I have that Wolf compressor and although it has done what I needed it to, I wish that I had bought a bigger one in the beggining. As a welder by trade
imho I would avoid the gassless and go for the gas as i find it far better to work with!
