Ok, my 29 year old old euro-torch had finally got to the point that it was un-rebuildable so I decided to replace itI was a little concerned about quality given the cheap price of this torch but it seems very well made. The torch head is a nice size with a good, solid feel and a good grip. I_ still getting used to the trigger having a protector at its base and it can be a little awkward to operate the switch in welding gauntlets but that_ just 29 years habit of pushing the lower part of the trigger. But the trigger base protector does mean it_ much less likely to accidentally triggerThe neck of the torch is a bit longer than the one on my old torch which is very welcome as it makes awkward areas a little easier to get toThe euro-connector meant that replacing the torch took less than a minute and all electrical and gas connections fitted perfectly with no leaksThe 4m/13ft length is much better than my old one and makes working on large projects or vehicles much easier as you don_ have to keep moving the welder aroundIt comes with a spare tip and a multi-function spanner/wrench for replacing tips and servicing the torchWeld quality was excellent and much easier than with my old, worn torch. Gas flow is excellent too. Without anti-spatter spray there was a bit of a build up but it came away clean and did not damage the tip or nozzle in any way which was a nice surpriseThe only slight criticism is that the shield gas nozzle is slightly on the large size which makes tight areas a little more difficult to get to, so I will be buying one with a smaller orifice, but there again this is a 250amp torch so a large nozzle is not unexpectedOverall I_ very impressed and heartily recommend this welding torch
