("Yea, I think it was sufficiently off topic.")<<<<<<<Really, what off topic, talk about buying a welding machine so we talk about welding machines, now if there was talk about someone's icemaker not working, that would be off topic.
When the time comes look at HTP for the tig torch and possibly pedal (can't remeber if they have a pedal for it) the torches are actually CK but cheaper.
I picked up a 20 series flex loc for my dynasty the other day, haven't used it much but love it so far.
Yeah, I like this one way better then a flex head, it's really compact and the superflex hoses are great, the I only thing I'm going to change is the leather cover. I prefer the nylon one I have on my other torch.
