Suggested ebay seller for Tig torch parts

[Sarto]

Hi to all.

I'm searching for a simple gas lens kit for my size 17 (with manual valve) Tig torch.

In your opinion, would be an error buying it on ebay?
Could you suggest some proven seller? (even from far East)

I tried to search for the kit, but there are just so many choices and I'm confused.

Have a nice weekend.

Adequate quality, good price, good delivery, helpful (some items I bought were broken in transit, replaced without question).

Your only gonna want a couple of them in 1.6 really I'd say. This will cover all your dc welding needs up to 130 amps or more. Buy good quality. It's far cheaper than buying consumables made of cheese for pence. I'd suggest you go wedge collets from ck. they just don’t fail. Some of mine are two years old or more. I also think the very best front end parts for a 17 are the ck stubby kit. This transforms your torch into a wp9 size on the front as it allows you to fit wp9 cups. All in all it’s gonna cost you £20 for a few bits but it’s a much better way to spend £20 than to throw it at a million piece kit that you’ll hardly use any of and will likely give you problems.

So, here it is the battle plan.
First I'll ask for a price to a local supplier or two.
If they are a lot expensive (they are quite the thieves with non pro people like me), then I'll
make a bet on my luck and order on Ebay.

Thanks to all.

Ask tom or jim. They would never take advantage of anyone. Pro or not. Both supply the stubby lenses I referred to.

Jim took advantage of me, he said if I bought the Phoenix off him I would be able to weld like a pro, lying B he is

That’s because he’s a good sales man. That’s what they do.
Anyway mr modesty, I’ve seen your welding with that ewm and it looks pretty pro to me.

I only post close ups of the good ones though

Seriously though, I have bought from both @Jim Davey and @Tom Orrow L and they are definitely worth a shout.

Yep I’ve spent a good few quid with both gents and I’d have no issues spending more when the time arrises. Tom is mr rapid response. I don’t think I’ve ever asked him for anything that hasn’t been on my door in 2 days.
Jim is an engineer and a bleeding good one at that. He’s never turned a job down I’ve asked of him despite whether it’s a product he deals with or not. He’s built me pedals and torches to suit machines he has nothing to do with and they have worked perfectly every time. Be nice if I lived closer to them as I’d like to call in for a brew and introduce myself.

@Richard.

I know they are good people.
But I think the shipping rate to Italy would kill any good price they could make (on a 20 € purchase anyway).

Yes it would. Sorry my bad. I should pay attention to people’s locations.
