nice and clean cuts,

"I used this torch on a commercial job site. I cut a lot of steel up to a half inch thick and i got it to make some of the prettiest cuts that a torch can make. It was nice and clean to where it had no spurs and what spurs it did make you could blow right off. The tanks are a little small but are extremely mobile. To use the torches as much as I did on a commercial site, they never clogged or broke and are still working great. I also had no problem getting the tanks filled. Its a great deal for the money."

"I purchased this system several months ago and used it several dozen times.
It is perfect for light duty cutting and Oxy/Act. welding.
I have used it to cut steel up to 1/4" thick with no problem.
Everything is contained in a rugged plastic carrying case.
I highly recommend this kit."

"Great torch and welder for small jobs , built a smoker out of a propane tank excellent results, cut 1/2 in rod with ease welded hinges in seconds.... tanks could be larger... but it would'nt be as portable... take the kit to the work instead of the work to the kit!!!"

Got stuck with 2 bottles,

"I received this small torch set and went to get the tanks filled/exchanged and found out that you can not exchange tanks that are not marked with the contents that is going to be in the tank. A Hazmat sticker has to be present on the bottles in order to exchange them. I needed the tanks filled so I had to spend an additional $290.00 for tanks that had stickers and filled. Northern Tool needs to put in a note stating that in order to have tanks filled, that a Hazmat sticker on each or any tank purchased needs to be present. It would have cost me a lot less just by going with my local delealer and now I'm stuck with two empty bottles that are new and useless."

"this welding set up is excellent for quick repairs. we are able to take it to remote locations and fix problems that would shut down an entire job site and multiple employees work if we had to wait for a mobile service or electrical power for other type units. very easy and safe to use even by those with limited experience.it's a great value for the price."

"This is a good kit. The price was great for the performance I got out of it. It is compact and comes with everything you need. It works out good for small jobs such as welding jobs and for air conditioning jobs. I use it mostly for air conditioning jobs and it is just right for it."

"This unit is so easy to use. The hard plastic case that it comes in makes it simple to move whever you need it. The kit is all inclusive so you are not having to purchase individual parts. As the product claims, it is a great unit for light to medium duty cutting."

Small tasks only,
May 30, 2008
By MilesD

(read all my reviews)(read all my reviews)
"I've had the kit for over two years now; I have used it quite a bit for welding, brazing, and cutting. Comes with a #0 cutting tip and a #1 welding tip.
I bought a #1 cutting tip to cut through steel over half an inch think; and that tip drains the tanks very quickly.
I also bought a #1 heating tip - the tanks were emptied in less than 10 minutes using the tip.
If you have a lot of biggger tasks, you are much better off getting the normal size tanks (275 acet, 600 cu ft oxygen). If you weld around your home a lot, you can chain the tanks someplace and just get long hoses for your torch.
The little tanks are only 10 and 20 cu ft and it is a drag to keep having to get replacement refills (and if you want extra replacement refills to keep around, they charge more than 100 dollars deposit for the two little containers)."

"As the son of a 42 year journyman welder I have access to all the big welders and cutting torches available out there but this ProWeld personal beauty works great and works fast to get the job done. As for Niveck, sounds to me as if you just got THE one on the shelf that was defective, there's normally one in every lot. Too bad too, because this is a really great torch for every home/work cutting project. I am really glad I found Northern Tool, their prices are great , they ship fast and their products can't be beat!

Not worth the money,
January 27, 2008
By Niveck55
from Decatur,Il
(read all my reviews)(read all my reviews)
"After getting bottles filled i hooked up all the connections. I had no acetaline PSI. After rechecking all connections I removed the Aceteline valve and did some tests. The ON/Off valve would not go in far enough to make the valve open. I went to a reputable dealer in town and bought a new valve. All works well now but I believe it is just a matter of time before something else goes wrong. I wouldn't recomend this unit at all.
I have owned torches in the past and this is the cheapest built peice of equipment I have ever owned."
