Harbor Freight oxygen and acetylene welding and cutting torch just as good as my victor torch

Harbor Freight heavy duty oxygen and acetylene welding accessory kit. This is my review of the torch set you get at Harbor Freight and I really love it and would recommend it to anyone wanting to get started welding and cutting. I really like it as much as my expensive set and it is just as good at a fraction of the price. I like it as much or more than my victor torch set.

The hose blew up on mine because of a crack in the line.

@Kpowerstroke my hoses cracked too but i replaced them before they were deadly. they will not crack if you keep them out of the sun.

why not get a Smith torch? top of the line safety, completely made in the USA, and they weld and cut just like or even better than Victor.

@rockergod789 Maybe I will get one the next time i buy a set. If they give me one for free like harbor freight did that would be even better.

What is the stick you are feeding into the torch called? is it like a ark welder stick? or just a piece of metal?

@paintballkid274 filler rod. 1/16" rg-45

keep using the harbor fright torch and get back to us in 10 years...

@genegenegene1 good thing the welding program i attend only uses Smith torches!

[genegenegene1]

@rockergod789 Smith is a much safer torch, the uniquely designed

mixing chamber eliminates the possibility of oxygen backflowing into the accetylene

causing a compression ignition/explosion

I have this exact oxy-acetylene torch at home, it's surprisingly good.

freddy if you want a really good torch for gas welding, get a smith AW-1. It is a smaller torch, with the valves on the front, like a jewlery torch. I got mine on Ebay for around $80, and it came with 2 tips. (no regs or hose, I just used the ones from my air liquide torch)

@TheMattd546 WHen I got my tanks, which were a lot smaller then his, they cost me like $400

[SMMS077]

Thanks for sharing,Can't wait to start welding!

very nice video buddy, i got 1 question though, how much did you spend on the tanks? cuz the kit dont come with the tanks right? its just everything but the tanks, i really want to get it, but im afraid i'll order it for the $100 bucks and then the tanks will be like 200bucks or so, get back to me, thanks alot for the nice video
