Hi I have a SIP P178hf and I was looking for a new torch as I have a foot pedal and I want a lighter torch can any one tell me what to look for or recommend anything
Is there a budget?
I've actually got a thread on the go with lots of thoughts and opinions on what people do and don't like about different types, sizes and brands.
Big point you need to look into is unless your water cooling down sizing a torch reduces the limit on current you can use. In this case it's best to have a couple of torches so you can use the available current on the unit safely.
The reason I ask about budget is you can buy one for £30. You can also spend £400.
Brand, length, Hose type, head type etc all play a big part in how much cash you part with.
You can get a lighter torch but if your torch is air cooled, you will probably only be able to get something able to cope with lower amps than the one you have currently. Parweld have a good range of torches, reasonably good quality and no need to spend lots of money.
