Inverter Welder for Garage Work: Comparing Magnum Power VIP 4000 vs. Ideal Praktik 205

Hello, I need an inverter welder for garage work. Well, I was looking for a last time and found two welders, unfortunately I can not find an opinion. Price up to PLN 700 - PLN 800. Maybe you have any other suggestions? I was also looking for a Bester welder, but it was only 135a - not much

This welding machine seems to be a bit small and fits in the palm of my hand and it puzzles me a little.


Ideal Praktik 205 - http://allegro.pl/ideal-praktik-205-spawarka-inwertorowa-lincoln-i6621368099.html

The latter I have / is quite decent.

Hello and I am dilemma with the choice of a welder for your own needs and so I am not a professional welder and I will use it sporadically. I take two models into account. Parameters almost identical, overall GDMS is lighter and smaller has additional functions such as HOT START, ANTI STICK, ARC FORCE, IGBT TECHNOLOGY. I do not know in which technology SNAKE 200 P works, the information I have chosen from http://spawsc.pl/pl/

I have Snake 200P with a display for three years and I will not say a bad word. Welds even with 4mm electrodes. Small, light and handy. When welding with higher currents on a long extension cable, it must have a cross section of 2.5 mm?!

I used to have the opportunity to use Snake 200P and it seems to be ok, but Snake 200P
I did not even physically see. It has additional features and I think it is smaller and almost 2 kg lighter, but if it is a plus for her, I have no idea and that's what I wanted to know. next week I would like to buy.

I have a Magnum Snake 200 P with a display, previously I had a Bester STA 250. Magnum's advantages light for garage work and ideal in the garden, i.e. a lightweight, good bow archer. I use over 3 years and no problems.

Yes, buddy, I agree with you and in your opinion it would be worth to buy the model snake 200 GDMS is on the transistors IGBT has additional functions which mute Snake 200 P and probably also is not on IGBT
