Hi there, has this had the mag welded in place making it sec2 or is it still a sec1. Is rfd transfer an option for you or do you prefer collection

Pair of vices, one engineering vice and one under bench wood working vice. Collection only from fareham hants due to the weight of them. £65 for the pair

Storage cabinet with four drawers. Approximately 53cm wide, 44cm tall and 52cm deep. Collection only from fareham hants. £20

Pair of industrial lights up for grabs, I'm afraid it's going to be collection only from fareham hants due to the weight of them. Their brand new and never used. £90 the pair

Has anyone got one of these, are they worth the money? I've been looking at getting one for a while after my set of roof bars started going rusty after 18 months🤦 I like the look of the full roof rack for vans but it's a fair chunk of change at £550

Haha you used to be able to buy these in inert form online as paperweights,etc. I had a look the other day as one for novelty use but you don't seem to be able to get them any more. Their still available in the states but I don't fancy bringing one back in my luggage on my next visit 🤣🤣

Hey Jonty. This is the one they had in store last weekend. ignore the eBay price, lidle had it in for £129.99 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226333351880 I thought it was worth a go as it stated it had an inbuilt compressor. I didn't get chance to use it in the end as it didn't have a 13amp plug so no good for any mobile jobs I do I think there's a YouTube review on it

Lots of videos on YouTube on how to fit these trigger kits, quite easy to do. I've got them on both of my Cz452's Makes an amazing improvement to the factory unit

The masks that come in the box with these welders are an absolute pile of poop but I've been using a cheap auto darkening one off the bay for the last two years and it's done me well, just make sure it's one that has an accessable battery compartment. They contain one or two cr2032 batteries that need changing every now and then👍

I had a snap on/cebora mig 140 and part of the wire feed assembly broke. Snap on and cebora stopped supplying the parts as spares, the last company providing the part wanted £160 😱😱 That's the main reason I went for the cheaper unit as I could buy a complete new welder for the price of a part. I keep this one as a mobile unit and I've got the next model up in the garage as a permanent fixture This is my garage unit, it only arrived last week so I've not had a chance to really test it yet https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inverter-Welder-Synergic-Gasless-Welding/dp/B0CXNGH1RQ/ref=asc_df_B0CXNGH1RQ/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=697257156448&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8077274577321399825&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007336&hvtargid=pla-2299720685518&psc=1&mcid=9d89a9a73a1f3017bbb969e09564b4fd&gad_source=1 Again.... For the price it's a bit of a no brainer if I get a couple of years of hobby welding out of it The work I did this week has already paid for the mobile one and I'm only half a spool of wire in to it

I had another play today and it ran a lot better when I released some of the pressure on the wire feed arm. The welder is new and I think when the wire was passing over the feed wheel it was almost imprinting the serrations on to the wire, I think this is what was catching on the liner When I started using the welder I thought it was awful as it produced more spatter than weld. Found out later that with flux core you have to reverse the polarity, the torch has to be negative and the clamp has to be positive. The opposite of what is the norm. Swapping them over was an instant improvement. The weld in the photo I posted was from a cheap machine I bought for chucking in the van when I have to fix something at the farm or elsewhere. It's disposable enough at the price but spares are peanuts on the bay so why not🤷 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273877930650

Funnily enough I bought one of the plasma cutters from Lidl at the weekend. I took it back after opening the box and seeing that it had the round blue 20amp plug on it. I've got a 20 amp feed in the garage but I needed it for at the farm too and they only have 13mp in the garage and barn🤦 I think the liner on mine is the metal spiral type. I'll take a look on line and find a replacement 👍👍

I had a few problems with the wire jamming occasionally, it's only a cheap machine but seems to work ok when you get it dialled in. With the amount of welding I do it's not worth me spending mega money on a setup, despite how much Id like to🤔 When I get five minutes I'm going to swing by the scrap yard and grab a load of different off cuts to have a mess around with it in the garage over the winter. Bit of practice welding with the wood burner going 👌

Evening all, I managed to get away from my old stick welder and bought a mig. I'm running flux core at the mo as I'm welding outside on the farm and it's blowing a gale. I'm welding joist hangers to beams for an extension were building on the bungalow and it's seems to be going ok but occasionally I get the arc jumping back up the wire to the tip of the torch🤔 Most of the welds don't look too bad but any advice appreciated Their just short runs to hold joist hangers in place
