The best TIG kit is the one that fits your work
One of the best things about a TIG kit is that you don't need to look up 50 different part numbers for collets, cups, gas lenses, end caps, heat insulators, and more.
All you need to do is identify the type torch you have and then order the TIG kit for your torch.
And then you can be 100% sure all the parts will fit your TIG torch.
If you are still using the standard TIG cups and hardware that came with your machine or TIG torch, I can just about guarantee you will get better results if you upgrade to a weldmonger® stubby gas lens kit.
I have a friend named Ray who told me a story about his first day working at a new fab shop that built heat exchangers.
The very first job the Boss asked him to do was to repair 172 welds on a heat exchanger that had failed the hydro leak test.
The heat exchanger was made from Haynes 188 and was valued at over 90 thousand dollars and they were considering scrapping it out.
Haynes 188 welds a lot like stainless unless you get it all oxidized with poor gas coverage and then it welds like mud and can crack easily.
The part had been welded using a standard collet body cup and all the welds were crusty and dark with 172 of the welds leaking.
After grinding out all the defects, Ray put on a #8 gas lens cup from his Weldmonger Stubby gas lens kit he had brought from home....
Then he set in to re weld all 172 leaks.
A few hours later he was done and all the welds passed a hydro leak test.
So on Rays first day on the job, he saved a 90 thousand dollar part from the scrap bin.
Here is the question....
What would it be worth to make that kind of first impression on your first day on the job?
When you show up on a new job, you can't always depend on them having the best TIG cups or hardware for you to use.
Ray was smart and brought his own Gas Lens TIG kit with him on his first day on the job and it helped him make a lasting impression.
Don't be afraid to invest in yourself.
