i got an sr 26 torch that came with my machine and its a bit heavy so it gets tiresome after some time welding, i decided to buy an sr9 torch, to get into the tight spots in the collector..and i've changed both my torch heads into flexible ones, my problem now is that the sr9 flex torcheads doesn't seem to last long, anyone know a more durable brand flex head torch, the one i have is already silicone, maybe someone can point me to a better brand.....

 

The best torch that I have found is the Speedway Torch made by TEC Torch
It has a 320 amp rating and takes HW20 parts It is a small torch and the head will flex but I would be flexing any of them constantly. If you find yourself needing to flex the head often then I would recommend using a 2 torch setup with a changeover switch. I have 2 of these . The kit comes with the torch silicone hoses and a very flexible soft leather cover and also a parts kit with collets end caps cups and other misc parts. It is not cheap but nothing is that's as good as this unit is.
