Okay -- I don't mean to bust your you know what here on a public forum ---- but dude! Get rid of that big ass TIG torch and heavy unyielding hose.... and get a torch that isn't fighting you all day!

This is just ONE style --- but trust me when I tell ya - the right size torch -- and a nice flexible gas cooled hose will make you a serious welder!!

The hose is a flexi-flyer........

17 Series air-cooled TIG Torch. Fits any TIG welder that takes the 17 Series torch including the HTP Invertig 201, Invertig 221, Invertig 160DC.

Nothing makes TIG welding easier than a high quality TIG torch with a nice flexible cable – that’s why HTP offers replacement TIG welding torches for just about all brands of TIG welders – so you can get better results easier. All HTP air-cooled TIG torches feature one piece cable designs, constructed from an extremely flexible, silicon rubber hose with a braided nylon weave overlay. These cables even stay flexible in cold weather. This design puts much less strain on your wrist, and makes the torch feel lighter.

Torch isn't huge and works well for my big hands, but I wouldn't mind a swivel head.

AH!! GOOD! It looked like a garden hose in the pics! A flexible hose is really critical IMHO.... almost as important as being able to see!

My TIG torches have flex heads -- not swivel heads -- but you can bend the neck.

I personally like to use as small of a torch as possible --- both MIG and TIG.

CK-17 is the torch that came with the HTP Invertig.

Yeah - that's standard --- You'd LOVE a CK9 (two series) with the flex head!

Just do it!
