Don't get a gasless welder if you can help it.

 

You get what you pay for so pay as much as you can afford

agreed, make sure you get something that will go to 130A and have plenty of current settings so you can turn it down. replace the liner for a steel one if its nylon as it will run much more smoothly and be less prone to jaming / sticking.

I've got a Butters MiG170. Cracking little welder. If you're new to welding, there's a cracking site: mig-welding.co.uk. I taught myself the basics off of here and then experimented on test panels, until I could get a decent weld. Good luck with whatever you go for.
