Welding Tips and Tricks

Hello, I would like to know just how flexible a Chinese WP20f torch should. The one I received from Welding City takes lots of muscle to bend it. Welding City sent me one, I let them know it would not change position. They did not hesitate to send me another. Nice people to do business with. At any rate, I got the second one and put a lot of effort into bending the head. I need to send them money for the second one.Thanks, Larry

Hey Larry, welcome to the forum
Not sure how far you're trying to bend the head, maybe someone that has this torch can provide an answer.

That said while the flex head is useful it will also eventually (or, more then likely) break at some point depending on how often this "feature" is used and to what degree. I have read that running a bead or two before bending will warm the head and make it easier to bend.

It should be "somewhat" flexible.

This CK page shows the flex torch bent to what I would consider the extreme.

Thanks all for your replies. Larry
