MIG and TIG welding torches are popular tools for both recreational and professional welders.
TIG torch uses the same process of heating to join metals, but employ tungsten electrodes to make the weld. This feature benefits the welder because the torch creates its own shield of gas, reducing the splatter from hot metals.
Torches are common tools in the shipbuilding, automotive and industrial area. Welding is also a frequent activity for plumbing, repairing car frames and fixing machinery. In addition, welding torches are an integral part for metalworking and artistic sculptures.[read more...]

Torches are common tools in the shipbuilding, automotive and industrial area. Welding is also a frequent activity for plumbing, repairing car frames and fixing machinery. In addition, welding torches are an integral part for metalworking and artistic sculptures.
There are two types of TIG welding machines: air-cooled and water-cooled. An air-cooled TIG torch is always larger than a water-cooled TIG torch that has the same amperage rating. A water-cooled torch has a much smaller power cable.
Once you decide on an air-cooled or water-cooled torch, you should consider certain other factors such as: whether to get a big TIG torch or a small one, a TIG welding torch with a gas valve built-in or without, a flex head versus rigid head, a 12 foot versus 25 foot torch, among other things.
EVERLAST carries a variety of TIG torches, backed by excellent design and service. [Collapse...]
