Thanks in advance
WP26 isnt going to be ideal, a WP9 would help you but even that may not be able to get to some places.
Yes it is Chris, a more ergonomic would be brill.This link will give you some ideas as to sizes and whats available,

You can get better prices if you shop around, and Other brands are available.
Many members are very happy with Speedway torches .
Is that your only torch on the hook on the bench?. It looks quite cumbersome.
In a tight spot like that it wouldn't be too much of an issue with a slight bend as the weld area would be quite argon enriched.If you bend the tungsten how do you get the gas to go round corners?
My tungsten snaps rather than bends - am I doing something wrong?
They do bend to a point then they snap.My tungsten snaps rather than bends - am I doing something wrong?
Dont know if you have ever noticed any differences, i was always taught to cut an electrode as when you snap then they will have micro cracks along the length and even after grinding can cause an unstable arc. But have never done any comparisons, just wondered.I don't really want a bent one that's just how I break them to use with my stubby
Your dead right Chris. You should never shorten a tungsten by snapping them as they will likely crack down the length and split during use. If you must shorten them then they are cut on an abrasive disc. Preferably a thin one that's gonna get through it quickly and not generate too much heat.Dont know if you have ever noticed any differences, i was always taught to cut an electrode as when you snap then they will have micro cracks along the length and even after grinding can cause an unstable arc.
