Lincoln SP125+ or later version (135+, 140+ whatever). Avoid imports.
These little red boxes really do work a lot better than the
similar-looking imports, and you can get parts for them.

Are Clarke products imports? I've seen them on eBay for considerably
cheaper prices than Lincoln and Miller.

Yes, but (last I heard this was still true) from Italy, not the far
east.

What is it about "Buy Miller, Lincoln, or Hobart" that you don't understand?

If you insist on buying a piece of **** welder, just get one with a large
handle, as then it makes a better boat anchor.
