Euro torch advice

[The Scrapman]

Hi, i have a clarke 230 tec mig with the standard torch on it and i dont like it, the torch feels too thin in my hand if you know what i mean, a friend of mine has the mb15 parweld pro torch on his mig, feels alot nicer to use in my opinion, been told that the parweld torches are the best for reasonable money. Whats the opinion on them.

do you already have a euro torch socket, or do you need to fit a socket aswell ?

My machine has a euro socket as standard

I have a couple of parweld MB 15 mig torches and find them pretty good for quality and design.

I would have thought you would need an MB25 with that welder.

I've just switched the original torch on my Migatronic for a genuine Binzel one and it's a nice torch. seems a strange thing to say but it took a while to get used to it after using the original for so long.

I fitted an mb25 to my mig and comparing it to an mb15 the shroud is not much larger but the torch feels better in use. Think mb15 are rated at 150amps and mb25 at 250amps. I tried both before buying and liked the mb25 more. I paid £30 from a local welding supplier.
