If considering the professional ones upwards of the Supermig 150, then bear in mind that you are now over the limit for your 13A domestic mains supply, my Supermig 180 for instance needs a 32A mains supply to run it.

Yep very true...you would be amazed at the people who use an extention lead to use the mig welder and then wonder why it fails to operate correctly.....they do not read the labels or instructions at all..

Looking at the different prices for new/used, is the Clarke 100E suitable for diy automotive work

Actually, you cant use anything above about 130A on a 13A socket and even then, keep some spare 13A fuses about as they will age with every use and blow on occasion.

100e should be fine up to about 2mm steel
