[Wanted: Parts] Joggler / joddler / edge setter

I know they say a bad tradesman always blames his tools, but I invested in a really good welder late last year and it has made such a difference to my welding. I used to have a SIP Migmate but didn't end up using it that much as I found it difficult to work with. My new welder is a Portamig 185. It's so much easier to get the settings correct for the gauge of steel you are welding. Lowest setting is 15amps so it's great for welding thin steel like car bodywork. It's made in the UK and is a very solid machine. The wire feed is rock solid reliable and is semi-synergic so the feed speed adjusts automatically to suit the power setting being used. Also has a spot weld timer which, although you could do without it, is handy to have. And it uses full sized gas bottles. Really happy with it. Just need a joggler for a job this week and they're much pricier than I was expecting new.
Frosts are a bit of a rip, and still charge way too much for NI and Ireland delivery.

I got one for work,used it once an fired it in the toolbox. Butt weld everything, I'd spend the money in more vise grip. The punch is great though, mines separate.
I guess for bigger sections the pneumatic one is a good yoke to have.

My 2c spend the extra on a pneumatic they are quicker and easier to use, your hand will get a hell of a work out with the one you posted.
Cheers lads. Based on the advice above I'm gonna leave it for the time being. I'll go with Trev's big butts on this job instead. It's repairing rust in the cills of '99 Yaris...! I might pick up a joggler in the future if the work on the oval requires it.
