The other day when I was asking Joe Welder which TIG torches I should recommend when writing about the Nascar welders<\/a>, and he could not stop talking about these two specific ones: the Modular and Micro TIG torches.\u00a0 I was confused.\u00a0 “So what\u2019s so special about them?” I asked, na\u00efve as I was.\u00a0 In response I received what was, quite possibly, the longest answer in the history of welding and now feel like I know just about as much as anyone could ever know about these two torches.
\n
\nThe Micro TIG torch<\/a>? It\u2019s just like what its name implies; it\u2019s tiny.\u00a0 And that makes it perfect for any job where you need to get into a tight space.\u00a0 It\u2019s even capable of welding inside of a 5\/8\u201d diameter pipe.\u00a0 It also has three interchangeable heads to choose from (45\u00ba, 90\u00ba and 180\u00ba angles) which make it almost impossible to find a job that this torch cannot do.<\/p>\n

The Modular TIG torch?\u00a0 Joe Welder\u2019s FAVORITE.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He calls it \u201cthe most versatile torch on the market\u201d.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because you can choose from so many different torch heads at different angles and different amperages that it\u2019s just about mind-boggling.\u00a0 And you can also choose between air-cooled (WP-150<\/a>) and water-cooled (WP-225<\/a>) set-ups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
