After re-introducing the Arc-Zone Monster(tm) TIG nozzle last month I did a Google search and\"\"<\/a> ran across a post from 2009. The reviewer, a new welder, had said the Monster nozzle was a monster waste of cash. (ouch!)\u00a0 Unfortunately, I replied noting that the picture shown was not, in fact, our pink Monster Nozzle, but was the white Champagne nozzle and that the nozzle was not installed with the Teflon(R) gasket needed for the “Stubby” front end parts.\u00a0\u00a0 You can read the post and my replies on Ben’s blog <\/a>…. but I wanted to make some additional corrections here, on my own blog– I had forgotten the history of our product.<\/p>\n

When we first introduced the Monster(tm) TIG Nozzle our customers experienced great success. The Monster TIG Nozzle is 1″ (25.4mm) also referred to as a #16 orifice made of alumina oxide material (pink ceramic).\u00a0 Initially it was designed for the 9\/20 series TIG \/ GTAW torches, and needs to be used with a gas lens collet body for a cohesive gas flow.\u00a0 This makes it a great accessory for TIG welding metals like stainless and titanium.\u00a0 Airline repair facilities and others have used it for years, and in fact, you can see a photo of the Monster TIG Nozzle in action in an article from Practical Welding Today<\/em>, “Delta repair welders aim high.”\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Starting in 2008, the company that manufactured our diffuser screen stack for us folded and we were unable to find a quality replacement.\u00a0 For a short time we substituted the Champagne nozzle, which was copied from Arc-Zone’s original Monster nozzle, so the exterior shape is similar. The difference is the Champagne nozzle uses a “white” ceramic material, and one dense stack of screens with a metal ring that is sized for the tungsten to pass through. The screens are held in place by a steel retaining wire, with a hook on it. We found that those items significantly reduce the available surface area and cause the gas to be disrupted as it flows around those obstacles. Ultimately we took our Monster Nozzle out of our web store.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I wish Ben had contacted us back when he tried the nozzle–we have a No Hassle Return <\/a>policy we’re very proud of.\u00a0\u00a0 In fact, I’m offering Ben a replacement, even though more than 30 days have passed… that’s how much I believe in the quality of our Monster TIG Nozzle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’ve now sourced a quality manufacturer and have re-introduced the Monster TIG Nozzle, and the Monster Nozzle Pro Kits.<\/p>\n
