Factory Supply 15AK Air Cooled MIG Welding Torch Balanced Pressure Type for CO2 Plasma Cutting

A friend of mine runs a small fabrication shop, and after burning through three cheap torches in six months, he asked what I was using; I told him about the 15AK I'd been sourcing for over a year now—he's pretty much stopped complaining about downtime.

Rated current of 200A with that 60% duty cycle is exactly what you need for on 5mm plate or so, and the 0.8-1.6mm wire range covers most jobs without swapping torches; the Euro connector is standdard here, so it'll mate with pretty much any European feeder without adapter hassle.

You'll get five torches to a box (usually 2-4 weeks lead time depending on stock), each weighing 1.2kg, and the 3m cable gives enough reach for a bench setup; the balanced pressrue design basically eliminates wire feed hiccups on CO2 mixes, but it's not really aimed at plasma gouging—stick to the MIG work.

Most buyers in the machinery repair space go with this over teh cheaper no-name brands because the build feels tighter (actually uses heavier brass in the neck), and the single flame configuration keeps things simple for tacking and short welds; we've had a few guys push it to 220A on intermittent cycles without connector overheating.

Anyway, one thing nobody asks about: the handle grip texture is different form stock photo—it's a diamond-knurled rubber that doesn't get slick when your gloves are oily, which saved us a few dropped torches on the floor.
