Should of listened

You guys recommend Victor torch kit but I didnt
listen and bought a Hobart at TSC - right out of
package doesnt work right - called Hobart 20
minutes on hold only to be transferred to Miller
service guy - replacement torch supposed to be on
the way . TSC wont take back destroyed original
packing that took chainsaw to open lol

When I was a Snap-On dealer we had a phrase - You always remember the price you payed for a tool that did not do the job but do not remember the price 20 years down the road for a tool your still using

That might be fun,Hobart is the box store name for Miller(nothing is supposed to be the same)Miller is the name on Smith Welding(torches) Consolidation is the name of the game.

Ya want quality then ya go OLD SCHOOL , my cutting torch is and Airco from back in the forty's , my gas torch is a Harris from when back in the forty's . Just had the cutting torch rebuilt . I have tips from 00 up thru #12 a complete set to cut what ever . How well does it work , well i was replacing a cutting edge on a skid steer 72 inch bucket and was usen my buddy's and getting nowhere . His had a #1 tip that should have blazed thru like butter . NOPE , went home got my Airco with 0 tip and sliced the old one off in a few min. . I bought that when the sold the estate of and old friend that was a welder , i bought his TOOL box with over 50 years of welding . Nobody knew what all was in that box as they only held up the cutting torch . I knew and i knew old John would want me to have it . These little sets really not that great like my buddy's Victor set and it is from back in the seventys . Yep he has a cutting torch and a welding torch like what most see today, unscrew the cutting head screw on the welding head . i was never much of a fan as they just do not cut as well nor do they weld / braze as well . They seem to get to hot to fast and start poppen back like when usen a rose bud . I have a rose bud three times bigger and yes it takes more gas to run it and a bigger acct. cylinder but it does not get hot and start poppen back . I got mine bought at the sale for 40 bucks and i have had it since 1982 and just had the cutting torch rebuilt due to the acct. valve leaking a bit . That set me back 60 bucks .
