Clarke MIG120 Multi 120A MIG / MMA / TIG Inverter Welder (230V) review

Most of us fancy a home workshop suitable, novice-friendly, versatile welder but the big questions are: ‘What’s suitable?’ and ‘Is it affordable?’ 

Thanks to Machine Mart there is an affordable, multi-functional welder that’s ideal for home garage and workshop use, is lightweight and portable and also won’t break the bank. And if any further endorsement was needed, it’s a best seller as well. 

It’s called the Clarke MIG120 Multi 120A MIG / MMA / TIG Inverter Welder (230V), cleverly combines MIG, MMA and TIG welding processes into a single, compact, lightweight and portable (via a built-in carry handle) unit and is available via Machine Mart at a very reasonable £191.98. 

With an output of between 20A and 120A and an input voltage of 230V/50Hz the Clarke MIG120 Multi can MIG weld steel with a thickness range of 1-5mm (and, in MMA use, 1.5-4.5mm). It also features efficient inverter technology with a high switching frequency which makes it more efficient than traditional non-inverter transformer-type welders and further benefits from turbo fan cooling to allow prolonged welding and even greater efficiency. 

Best of all, though, the MIG120 Multi also comes complete with virtually everything you need for welding, including: face shield; torch cable with electrode holder; earthing cable with clamp; MIG welding torch with hose fitted 0.8mm tip; 0.6mm 0.7kg mild steel welding wire; 0.9mm 0.45kg flux cored welding wire; 0.6mm and 0.9mm tips; 0.9/1.0mm wire feed roller; 0.6/0.8mm wire feed roller; torch wrench (for changing tips) and even hammer/brush. You should note, however, that the TIG torch kit comes separately (Clarke code: 601223). 

Overall, it’s a great, good quality, comprehensive and portable MIG/TIG/MMA welding set-up for home use. 

But you don’t have to take just our word for it, the Clarke MIG120 Multi has also received numerous glowing reviews from satisfied customers who bought it through the Machine Mart website. 

“Nice little welder, perfect for most welding jobs,” said Mike. 

While Simon added: “Lightweight, good quality, great results and I got a discount. Excellent.”
