Default just got a new torch..

as some of you may or may not remember from this thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1623843 , Ive been looking for a new torch for my thermal arc tig. I called and emailed several companies looking for the right torch. I wanted something small I could fit in tight areas. weldingsupply.com was absolutley no help, they said I had to give them a part number if I wanted something, and they couldnt look for a torch for me. I emailed tigdepot.com and I must say their service was top notch. I told them what I needed, and they suggested a type 24 torch with a flex head. I ordered it monday, and I recieved it today. In the pics you can see how small it actually is(might be smaller than needed). It also came with a superflex cable. after seeing how flexible the cable is, Im gonna have to upgrade the cable on the torch that came with my welder, or just buy a new torch kit from tigdepot.. anyways, on to the pics.

yea, I got it with the intentions of using it to weld inside of collectors,a nd other tight areas. It was like $186 plus shipping, and I also had to get the adapter so it could fit my machine. still have yet to use it, but Ill prolly try it out tomorrow to see how it does

Looks like your pics need the "www." in their tags for them to show up.
