Anyone used or have any experience with these budget welders from China? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1600W-11...377524?hash=item213e8d7074:g:k8wAAOSwZVJa6mzM
Keep with leister. Tried and tested and will last ages. Buy cheap buy twice. China don't have the same safety regs as we have over here and holding something thats blasting out heat I'd prefer to use something more reliable.
And at that price you should just buy a used one off eBay, worst case you will have to buy a new element or brushes in time.
Always loads of second hand leister originals going on eBay at decent prices and apart from the elements going eventually they don’t really brake down
The green handle is larger than normal Leister , so not great if you have smaller hands..Look at these. http://www.tradediscountshop.co.uk/?s=steinel+hg24&post_type=product
