CK Worldwide 20 Series Superflex TIG Torch w/Flex Head 25' Length (CK20-25SF FX)

Durable, worth the money, outstanding build quality.

Worked perfectly

CKWW makes a good torch. Components are premium and they last. Everything fits together correctly and they work right out of the box. BUT... I don't like flex heads. I've basically never "needed" the head to be flexible and it annoys me the head is always bending this way and that. Also bothers me that eventually after enough (inadvertent) bending - it'll fatigue and break. Secondly, the handle is longer than is required to cover the fittings, making the whole torch longer than it needs to be. That could be an advantage for jobs where you want to brace your torch hand further away from the weld - but that's not the kind of welding I ever do. Rather, I want to choke up on the torch so my hand is very close to the electrode - and I don't like having an extra-long handle hanging out of my hand. That gives the weight of the torch leads more leverage on my hand and makes it harder to support; and therefore hold my torch hand extra steady. The handle can be cut down - but you either need to disconnect the leads from the torch head - or - be extra super duper careful to not get into the torch leads when you cut the handle down. So overall - I'd prefer a NON flexhead with minimum length handle.

I'm not a professional welder, but when my water cooled torch lead got damaged and sprung a leak, a friend who is a pro welder recommended this model as a replacement. After 2 years of use, no complaints!

Worked good for a while. This is the second one I have purchased. They have an issue with the water not circulating and the lines getting hot. The first one melted the positive lead. I replaced with this unit. Now the line kinked and prevented the coolant from circulating. Blew a hole in the coolant line at the torch. Will not but again.

This is a great torch. If you are rigging water lines up, you can use a 5/8-18 LH x 1/4 male pipe, and a 5/8-18 RH x 1/4 male pipe to connect the hot & cold lines since they can't be cut and spliced, and just cut the argon line and add any fitting needed. The flex torch does flex a lot which makes it nice to get in tight spots, and the cables aren't stiff. This particular torch uses the smaller thread consumables.

Great replacement torch for a 250 amp tig welder of any manufacturer, I have the Prime weld. Very flexible hoses keeps the stress off the hands and forearm.

Very nice rig. Light weight and near zero resistance for fine TIG work.
