Mine leaks all over the place, so I think its best to get a new one.
Its a female nut on it, I know its a bone question, but what do I need?
I'd like one with a duel outlet as I've just got a Kemppi Kempomat 150 for the princely sum of 150 quid and I'm keen to have it going tomorrow.
If anyone...

Lets see what tomorrow brings....

The accessories look pants, but I guess thats where the savings are.

OK then chaps. Just sold a load of old tat on the bay of evil to fund a TIG.. To all you guys that know what you are talking about (because all I've done is read so far) I'm sold on this bit of kit and have enough dough to buy it and a better torch. I'm sure there will be a shed load of...
