I have two good arc welders and am reasonably competent with them on benchwork, but hate working under a car with them.

I used to use a 3 phase Co2 welder and again could hold my own with it.
I am looking at a single phase Clarke or Sealy 150 MIG unit to do some welding on the 45 and can foresee repairs to the 75's rear tail gate gas strut.

Has anyone used a similar unit for sill etc., it would be easier than the arc welder for exhaust work as well I would assume.

Any advice welcome.
