    Got the package today and every thing was 100% plug and play no modifying anything.My first test weld was great and the torch is super light adding the flex head I couldn't ask for anything more!

    Looks very nice. I particularly like that CK has the knurled sleeve locks for the gas hose. Since they unscrew instead of crimp, you can shorten that gas hose up and not have to have that big loop of hose tie wrapped up.
    Long arc, short arc, heliarc and in-the-dark!

    I see Sjon Delmore went a little overboard on the gas hose length. All SafeLoc dinse # ending in LG had about a 10" gas hose that may have worked on the "LG" machine he tested it on, but was too short for Everlast.
    I recommended 18" be the standard so it would fit both brands and he agreed, but the picture looks like he decided on 6'... as long as it's plug and play and cost less than the low end ones. Name:  thumb.gif

    Thanks guys,I will be shortening the organ hose too and I just love how the fittings are removable and the safe loc actually came with the quick disconnect fitting installed and that right there was a big plus! and did I say they all cost under $100.I would recommend a upgrade like this to any hobbyist out there because a better torch truly makes you love welding just for the fun of it and thanks zoama585 for your thread because I could never figure out how to use a single hose torch for my everlast 200dx and you made it look so easy.

    Thanks for posting this. I just ordered one of these. It was a little bit more than yours maybe $5-10 but still will be much better than my wp-9/17 harbor frieght tig torch I am using. I rarely weld anything over 1/8" Steel or Al so this should be perfect.

    I used the superflex torches in school which is a 20 series and it is extremely comfortable in your hand even with 3 hoses.
