\"CKLOGO\"<\/a>While CK Worldwide is in fact recognized around the world as an innovator in the welding industry, CK’s\u00a0products are made right here, in the U.S.A., in the Pacific Northwest. \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0It’s been a family-owned business since the mid seventies and they are strictly focused on TIG welding equipment. \u00a0That type of focus is not common in our industry, and I think there is value there for the end user!<\/span><\/p>\n

Much of their innovation comes from their experience in the aerospace industry where attention to detail and top quality tools are imperative.<\/p>\n

\"CKWay back in the day (when we first started out) we carried \u00a0CK’s amperage controls for TIG torches. We were not only impressed with the “north\/south” control, but with the low profile, and the fact that the control can be strapped on to any TIG torch, from Miller to Lincoln, ESAB to Thermal Arc, and even Powcon, L-tec, Airco, and Panosonic.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Flex-Loc<\/a>Then we got to know CK’s TIG Torches, where we found not only solid TIG torches to get the (welding) job done, we found innovation, especially in the Flex-Loc TIG Torches– the ultimate\u00a0<\/a>in versatility<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>The 360 degree rotating head is perfect for out of position welds, and the locking design of the head means that it will outlast traditional flex neck torches.\u00a0<\/span>The\u00a0<\/span>air-cooled Flex-Loc<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<\/span>water-cooled Flex-Loc torches<\/a>\u00a0can be outfitted with nearly any combination of front-end parts, from high amperage flooding cups, to low profile stubby parts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"CKOther favorite CK Worldwide products include the professional grade, hand-held Turbo Sharp X Tungsten Grinder<\/a>. It’s rugged and the motor is robust enough to handle tungsten electrodes from 0.040″ (1.0 mm) to 1\/4″ (6.4 mm) with the “red head” attachment.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, we really like the totally tricked out Gas Saver Nozzle Kits with its Pyrex nozzle, a welding accessory popular with our Arc-Zone PRO Partners (who, by the way, you’ll be meeting here on this blog soon).<\/p>\n

\"\"At Arc-Zone we’ve gone the extra step and made a PRO kit featuring the Gas Save Nozzle<\/a> and all the TIG Torch accessories you’ll need to WELD LIKE \u00a0A PRO!<\/p>\n

CK also offers tungsten electrodes<\/a>, flexible purge chambers<\/a>, cold wire feed units<\/a>, and more.
