Since buying this XTi202 pedal I've tried to get on with this torch but find it too unwieldy. Anyone know what's needed to change to a smaller flexi? I shouldn't need the controls on the torch now I have the pedal.
If it's the wp26 you have you would need a completely new torch package if you want to go down in size. The power cable has a larger fitting against the torch head than on the others so it won't fit.
You can replace the head to a flexi neck on the 26 though, easy 5 min job
We used to get those progrip torches with those big long stupid flexi heads, immediately bin them and fitted "sr17" bodies to them. You can probably get an "sr26" body too. Standard binzel pattern, fits straight into the progrip handle
If i ordered "wp17" from our LWS, I got these stupid long necked things. I had to specify "short" bodies.
I was never sure if the sr17 body were Binzel, or some other brand. But they are nice enough heads, stiff and short but still flexible. In time, they still broke, because all flexi heads seem to break if they're flexed every day.
