WP-17FV TIG Welding Torch 17FV Flex Head Body with Gas Valve Air Cooled 150 Amps

You get what you pay for flex head not the greatest but it does bend nice handle good grip always welded with a slide valve rigid head torch from the 1980s

Affordable well working flexhead Tig torch. And if it wears out, you haven't spent too much. It does get hot at the upper amp levels, but so do most 150 amp wands.

I mean you get what you pay for. You can push them a bit but can't push them too much. I have pushed the torch (wp17fv rated at 150 amps) up to 170 amps for a couple hours and had no issues. I don't expect it to outlast my ck brand wp17v but it gets the job done.

Only had it for a week but it seems decent. Used it all week (60 hrs) tig welding 2"-16" carbon pipe. I make it a point not to flex it until it's warmed up, as you should, even with a name brand torch. It does get a bit too flexible pushing 150-170 amps through it for any length of time, but it got me out of a bind when weld supply wanted $108 for ck brand 17 flex torch body. It's not ck. But it does the job. I'll update when I break it. 11-13-22

Tig torch Flexhead or flex valve (wp-17fv) is the way to go!!! This was a little cheaper, as in money then others but... I've twisted, turned, almost had it bent 180° (don't recommend doing that with these) but it is still going strong and welding long! Nothing bad to say at all bout this guy here, if you're new to TIG welding and got a few extra $ I would recommend getting one, sooner or later when you're better at Tiggin' you will need to get in spaces that are a little harder to get in with a normal torch head, (wp-17v) or whatever # family torch head you want or use or want to start to use. Have a great day!

It’s a torch handle that bends.

This works perfectly the flex head is super convenient. The gas valve undoubtedly is saving me a on leaky valves in my antique machine. This is exactly as described. You should get one! (or two...)Also if you have an old transformer machine like me you can run your 50 foot cables to wherever you are welding and just bring your tank. Hook your stinger onto the ring of the adapter () and go!

This torch has out-lived the torch that came with my heavy hitters tig rig. Would definitely recommend
