Lidl, Parkside mig. | MIG Welding Forum Lidl, Parkside mig. | MIG Welding Forum
Disadvantage is that it's a big and heavy piece of kit - it used to trip the electric before we started using an extension cord.Never used C02 pub gas but it's a good mig and deserves Argoshield lite or similar to do it justice imo. Yes I know MIG welders are the way to go and i did in fact do a short course which unfortunately was pretty rubbish as there were too many students but I just fancy being able to do occasional agricultural quality repairs and small fabrications like motorcycle racks etc…nothing fancy /intricate or delicate. Always at maximum power For flawless cordless working, our PARKSIDE X12V electric tools give you effortless control and ease of movement. But If it gives me a start so I could jump on a decent MIG and not be a total newbie it's worth it, but if they are unusable rubbish then I'll leave it alone. Adversity promotes persistence and makes one think, plus it makes working with something better down the line far more appreciable.

As Sardine mentions, you have a good 3 year warranty, you have paid little more than many paid for one of the buzz box machines so yes I would say it was an ok deal.
Now for 50 quid wouldn't a Parkside gasless mig be good enough to practice laying down basic welds on scrap , doing pads ect? If it lasts 3 years you have had a great deal and if it blows up you will have had some use and get all your money back.
