I was needing a torch to use in my home garage. Nothing major, just some light to medium duty stuff. At my Barn I have a Victor Journeyman which I have had for years, never any trouble. The torch came really fast, upon opening the box the attatchments were all over. The plastic box is not all that, but that is not what i am reviewing. The regulators feel solid there is no rattle the threads are correct, and first time hook up there were no leaks. Hoses are plenty long for use in home shop. The torch handle and cutting head feel real good in my hands. There are checkvalves and all the bells and whistle you would expect from a high dollar torch kit. For someone looking for a very good quality torch for the money. I would say this is the best bet for the dollar. I would recommend it to anyone, and have.

The torch came with almost every thing needed; just add the gas, and it works well for me. I've used it cutting and welding on my equipment. Parts fit together good, the only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars was that, I had to buy an adapter, so the acetylene gage would fit the tank.

I haven't had a chance to use the welding tips yet, but the cutting torch works well for all applications so far. Gauges seem to hold the desired settings and while fairly small, they are easy to read and adjust. The hose that comes with the kit is not nearly long enough for my needs, so I added an additional 50'. As a wearer of eye glasses, the frog eye goggles are not usable for me. The outfit does come with some additional replacement O-rings. All in all, it seems to be a good light duty outfit for the money, just add oxygen and acetylene bottles and a cart and you're in business. As a side note, purchase your bottles rather than pay demurrage on them, you will save money in the long run.
