Light and flexible torch for 255 EXT

[diyjer]

The US 255ext torches in the new units aren't bulky. They are very similar to CK standard line torches and flex cables, and if anything will carry a bit more power. I think it's probably prejudice. Once you put them side by side you won't be able to tell the difference in bulk.

The NOVA rotaflex are available direct and individually from Everlast. Just call. Also these torches are nearly identical in construction to the CK and cables are just as flexible, and the dinse connector is better in my opinion. Way cheaper, and they have a two year warranty IIRC.

hi mark, i got my 255ext here in australia (everlast-welders.com.au). are you saying the unit in australia and the units in US come with different torches? because the torches that came with my 255ext are bulky. they are no different from my cigweld torch. bulky with unwielding cables.

thanks

I would imagine so. We use the 9 and 20 torches here on the unit.

Just a quick note, there are 2 lines of CK torches, I'm not clear on the actual differences, but there's a standard series and a master series. They are very close in price. The master series has an H in the product number, where the standard series has an R in the number. You list the R models above. If anyone knows the actual difference, can you let me know?

CK literature indicates that the main difference is that the "Master" series has a stainless threaded insert at the head, which is where a collet body screws into. Potato-potatoe, tomato-tomatoe.
