CK gas saver o-rings?

[Richard.]

Wonder if I could get round handle for the 450SW? That would be perfect for what I have in mind for the Hitachi, but cant use it with the bump thing............

Of course you can. They just need the handle slipping down pipes off straight swap. I love the shape of the speed bump as it "fits"in your hand nicely but as you dislike them I'd recommend you change it. I bet you could even get an aftermarket handle to fit it cheaper. After all it's just a plastic tube I see no reason why you wouldn't get away with a cheaper one. I saw a link to the speedway handles I'll see if I can find it.

Thanks.............might even be possible to make one reasonably easily, as I guess its only a piece of plastic with knurling?

That's it. It's not going to change the fact it's a quality torch by fitting another sleeved handle to your liking.

Parts list.
Last page is for the sw450. Has part nos for both handles. Bet they ain't cheap though.

Thanks..............looks like might be worth trying UK importer for a price? Torch only cost £25 from Ebay though, so spending a bit to get it usable not that big a problem.

Tried viton 75 o-rings on torch just now, and they seem to resist heat better than the silicone ones. Will do a proper test in the next few days, and try them back to back with silicone at high amps/

H150 Is the plain Weldtec handle, and its 9.95 + VAT. You might well find a £3.00 plain Binzel handle fits too if you don't fancy Weldtec prices.

Thats not bad. Picked Hitachi up from Cowlins today, so the SW will probably be getting a fair amount of use before long.

For £12 odd not working putting anything g else on there is it.
