HotRodMatt Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I used my mate's gasless mig to see how it compared a few years ago. From what I remember it wasn't too bad on 1-1.5mm, can't really remember for the thick stuff. Might not have been so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they expensive. Can I use them with small gas bottles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike399 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Word of advise. DONT buy gasless mig. Waste of time and quality is shit. Best to save a bit more and get a proper gas mig, Sent from my SM-T560 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 gasless migs were designed for working outside, they are also a higher current rating to start, and as a result tend to just blow holes in car panels horses for courses, but for a car, stick to conventional gassed mig, or as said, if you can, TIG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
