I've had a few Clarke hand tools. They were OK on durability, but were cheaply made Chinese tools. I wouldn't spend the money on a welder they made. Grinders and such were fine, but $500+ for a machine that you cannot get parts for?"never argue with an idiot; he'll bring you down to his level, and win by experience"

Clarke was in Maumee, Ohio in an industrial park off 475. They occupied a warehouse that at one end had docks for unloading overseas containers and the other had docks for shipping the unloaded and repackaged Chinese imports out to places like TSC and Harbor Freight.
The went out of business last spring. The line was taken over directly by TSC and is sold in their stores now as Black Bart or somesuch..... So you might be able to get parts but the bottom line is it's Chinese crap all the same.....
My only experience with a Clarke tool was a corded 1/2" drill. I found the smoke pretty quickly.So little time...So many machine tools.........

The Clarke EN130 was made in Italy. Clarke is still sold in England as far as I know. Forney sells the same welders in the US now.--- RJL ----------------------------------------------
