A Agroshield Member Messages 4,765 Dec 24, 2023 #2 Take a look at these two pages (click on the 'parts' tab). The thread size on the two torches would be a good indicator. CK9 5/16"-24 (https://www.ckworldwide.com/products/ck9-gas-cooled-torch). Confirmed by measuring my CK9. CK17 3/8"-32 (https://www.ckworldwide.com/products/ck17-gas-cooled-torch). Don't have one of these.

Anguz Forum Supporter Messages 1,627 Location Northamptonshire Dec 25, 2023 #6 Just been out... no need for a mug for scale as it actually says wp9 on it Rekon it was an ebay cheapie.. plenty good enough for the use it gets... but I jave bent one of the collets. Think I may have put it in backwards.. are these standard?
