Buying oxy acetylene torch kit

[SeanMurphy265]

I owned this Gaspony / victor set. I picked up a second set set of bottles cheap. It's good for quick cutting, and to carry around to jobs. I bought a Harbor Freight Victor copy and an 80cf / 75cf set of tanks last August. The HF set of torches is just as good as the Victor set, but they are both small sets. I'm sure I could tell a difference with the large heavy duty sets. The Northern Tool sets seem to be nice sets as well.

The HF stuff is not bad far as copies to be honest. I have used them and looked them over, own victor myself.. But they are fine.

I would not trust the rubber hoses though for too long. Just me maybe, but something about them make be nervous like they will not last long.

The gas reg (clarke knock off) is nice too (for MIG and TIG; CF scale).

On the O/A tanks. If you do go MC small tanks, go to a local AC warehouse and get the tanks swapped for 10-15 each, but they go fast for sure since they are so small. I was paying Prax twice that. Johnstone Supply is 1/2 the price, google them and see if they are near you but they will only do the AC/plumber small tanks. I have a rare need for O/A (heating things up) so I keep a small set only around now.
