, and they had a great tig torch. I've done plenty of fab work and have seen some great options on tig torches such as flex head, water cooled and thumb amp adjusters. The torch I used for the pipe test had a great handle, I'm thinking it was made out of rubber (wasn't really paying attention) but it was very thick and reminded me of holding a larger stick stinger. Even though it was air cooled, the handle never got hot which was great. Anyone know anything about these torches and if they come with different options such as flex head or with the thumb amp adjuster?

Embarrassingly enough, some of that was gibberish for me. But it wasn't flex head and I'm sure it was rated for 250 amps. I have a feeling there's a certain type of tig torch "rigs" that are specific for pipe welding, like the type I used. Even though it wasn't flex, it was at a really great angle unlike the type I learned on in school.
