Recomendations on a smaller tig torch

[JonathanH]

I'm looking for a new tig torch as I find the standard rtech torch a bit numb, I'll be mainly welding thin aluminium and stainless steel. I've been looking at CKs range of torches, are they worth looking at ?

i use a flexi ck torch in work and quite like it, very rarely need to twist the head though. Still a comfortable torch to hold and work with

Find a torch you like, apart from air or water cooled, there really is no differences in the heads, and they can soon be cheaply replaced

I've got a CK wp9 torch with a flex head,
Its rated at 130amps @ 100% duty cycle on ac & dc,
It'll handle the same amps as a cheap brand larger wp17 torch,

If you do get one make sure you get the superflex torch cable,
you wont wanna go back to rubber hoses after using it.

Thanks for the heads up everyone I'll have a look at them now

Has anyone got any links to decent suppliers ? Thanks
