Hi, These used to be marketed under the Dillion name. That guy went out of business and the new owner/manufacturer is the Henrob business. Both are identical. Essentially, it is a very low pressure oxy/acet rig. The plastic handle sort of makes it less "industrial" friendly, part of the reason you don't find it in mainstream suppliers. Paradigms are another reason they aren't all that well received, uh, meaning it is different, and we ALL know that ALL change is BAD!!!! I used to be a Navy jet pilot. Want to know why the guys with low grades don't get to fly the jets, and get helos, even though the helos are WAY HARDER to fly? Because things happen much more rapidly at 350kts than 100kts, plain and simple. Even though it's harder to fly a helo, you have more time to figure it out. Much the same with the Henrob with it's low pressure. I believe the Henrob to be more friendly towards beginners. Also, due to low pressure, it's exceptionally well suited for gas welding aluminum. And gas welded aluminum remains annealed (and easy to work), unlike TIG welding aluminum. Also, it's a very small company definitely not capable of keeping up with the likes of Harris. Because it works so well on very thin stuff, these things are pretty well known in homebuilt aircraft circles. Probably not the torch you need to heat up a 200lb chunk of cast iron to get it to release a stuck bearing or something, but great for sheet metal and lighter fabrication. Tools
