Two (2) Free 1/8” CK Wedge Collets For Stubby Lens w/17 Torch

I mean, I'm guessing that you'll probably want to go to a 17 torch, since they're a little smaller and the hose/power cable is usually lighter and more flexible, while still able to do higher amps for short periods.

Yes, I was wanting to upgrade to a CK. I read that Everlast would upgrade the torch when you ordered if you asked. I sent an email to Everlast to see if I could upgrade my existing torch to a CK, or if not I would upgrade to a rotoflex. I'll see what they say first. I haven't used mine yet.

But a cheap, flex head 26 torch can be had for $10.49, via Amazon, and would fit your existing cable. With the stubby lens and no 2T switch on it a 26 can be good too, and will stay a little cooler in the hand. And these 26 Flex heads are sometimes hard to find.

Now that looks reasonable enough.

Otherwise, a 17 or a 9 TIG torch would take a whole new assembly that includes a torch, hose/cable, and Dinse connector.

And the Dinse connectors that come with the OEM Everlast torch assembly is an integrated one, which can't really be used with any other hose/cable.

I was hoping for a torch/hose replacement. If so, I wouldn't be able to use it until my pedal gets here. Or use it with a simple switch.

First I'll see if they'll upgrade me and if so will do that. Either way the stubby kit will fit either 17 or 26.

I don't understand why the hose needs to be with the torch.

I saw that ck has 1 piece and 2 piece hoses. I'm not clear on what the differences are. Do you know?
