Slightly related, a cheap stick welder and a manual tig torch to start learning tig. https://youtu.be/RyZVkGdfkDU
J-Rod10 said:I was looking for a new torch for my Eastwood this morning, with a flexible head on it. Stumbled across a guy on eBay named usaweld. He sells a water cooling system for the Tig200.
I was looking at his torches, are they junk, or the actual Eastwood?SONIC. said:Also the Eastwood flexible head torch is junk. Doesn't stay put and leaks argon, it's also huge. They sent me one by mistake at one point. I think it's still in my tig drawer.

teazer said:What is wrong with Eastwood hand pieces as it relates to their ability to weld? It would be nice if I could blame my crappy TIG welds on the equipment. I did manage to "hot glue" some aluminum parts recently - not pretty but strong enough.
I also managed to burn straight through a leather glove and part of my right thumb when I accidentally grabbed the wrong end of a tube I was oxy welding. Not sure what was worse, the bite or the smell. Third degree burns in an instant - fortunately a small area.
Lesson - Be really careful when welding.
