Welders

We sell MIG and arc welders from GYS, a French manufacturer specialising in welding and vehicle diagnostic equipment, alongside welding magnets and clamps from Faithfull for holding metal in position while you weld. Stock covers arc welders from 80A up to 160A and MIG welders from 130A to 150A output, suited to home workshop, automotive and light fabrication use.

Choose an arc (MMA) welder for straightforward, portable stick welding, or a MIG welder for faster, cleaner welds on thinner sheet metal. Looking for other metalworking equipment?

Welders for Workshop and Fabrication Use

MTN Shop sells welders from GYS, a French manufacturer with over 50 years' experience in welding and vehicle diagnostic equipment. The range covers arc (MMA) welders and MIG welders suited to home workshop, automotive repair and light fabrication work.

Choosing Between Arc and MIG Welding

  • Arc (MMA) welders: the GYS GYSMI 80P and 160P use a flux-coated electrode to strike an arc directly onto the metal, offering a simple, portable setup with no shielding gas required. Well suited to outdoor use, general repairs and thicker steel sections.
  • MIG welders: the GYS Easymig 130 and Easymig 150 feed a continuous wire electrode through a torch, giving faster, cleaner welds with less spatter, particularly on thinner sheet metal such as automotive bodywork.

Welding Accessories

Alongside the welders themselves, we sell Faithfull welding magnets and clamps to hold metal at a fixed angle while welding, freeing up both hands for the torch or electrode. The adjustable welding magnet clamp suits variable angles, while the welding magnet square holds work at a fixed 90-degree angle for consistent corner joins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Arc (MMA) welding uses a flux-coated electrode that's consumed as you weld, striking an arc directly onto the metal with no shielding gas required, making it simple and portable. MIG welding feeds a continuous wire electrode through a torch with shielding gas, giving faster, cleaner welds with less spatter, particularly on thinner sheet metal.
An arc (MMA) welder such as the GYS GYSMI 80P is generally a simpler starting point, with a straightforward setup and no shielding gas to manage. MIG welding is easier to control once set up correctly, but involves more initial setup with gas and wire feed.
Amperage requirements depend on material thickness. Lower output welders around 80-130A suit thinner sheet metal and general repairs, while higher output welders around 150-160A handle thicker steel sections more effectively. Check the manufacturer's thickness guidance for your specific material before choosing.
A welding magnet holds metal in position at a set angle, commonly 90 degrees, so you can weld a joint without needing a second person to hold the pieces in place. Adjustable magnet clamps suit variable angles, while magnet squares are fixed for consistent right-angle joins.
