Tig Torch WP9 Air-Cooled 4M Superflex

I use this product on ally, stainless and mild steel. Well built compact torch for the lower amp work in confined spaces. Great quality product

Just a bit smaller than the one that was standard, ideal for light work or confined spaces

R-Tech outstanding quality

I haven't got round to using the smaller torch but it looks well made

Bought to go with the TIG makes smaller jobs easier as you get to see more of the job.

Quick delivery and wrapped well . Easy to fit and worked as it should .

Bought this as an alternative to my W26 torch, for work on 0.8mm steel and 1mm aluminium. Noticably smaller in size, much lighter and with a more flexble hose making it easier to handle. Build quality seems identical to the W26 which has given good service so hopefully it will last. No doubt the 'pro' grade torches are better yet, but for this amateur it's more than sufficient.

Very nice small torch head.

1. Race car parts fabrication 2. Other like colleagues 3. Excellent value for money

Excellent

Just really nice to hold torch that appears great quality.

Appears Ok would need more time to evaluate.

Quality equipment. With good aftersales

I only have small hands, so with gloves on I am at the limit using this torch, I have bought a smaller unit because of this.

Not in use yet.

easy to fit and nice to use

used for thin wall stainless butt welds, sheet metal works. This is a good quality torch

Good welding torch. Recommended

I was hopeing the torch itself was smaller than my 17, i know that a WP9 refers to the internal bore size for the diffuser etc but was also hopeing that the torch would be lighter and smaller like the miller range of torches.

Nice torch for smaller jobs where I don’t need the capacity of my WP26 torch.

Very good product Would maybe point out to inexperienced people the current capacity of the torch as I only found out from someone else

Only used it once but very happy so far

Great

I ordered a wp9 torch for some delicate welds that have restricted access. I returned the torch because it was no where near the size of a wp9, the body was exactly the same size as the wp17 torch I received with my 210ext when I purchased it.

Waiting to use

New torch not used yet but great model and very flexible.

I opted for this torch as it wasn't included in the deal. As my main material requirement is mid way for the capability of the machine I thought that the WP9 would be a good choice for size and required amperage required. The torch came with a small accessory kit to get it working, cups, collets and tungsten's. I found the torch to be great for the smaller jobs but still quite weighty when trying to keep a good steady torch for AC welding which leads to the inevitable 'Dip' into the pool destroying the electrode. This said with some practice you can maintain a reasonable arc at higher amperages but I still struggle on the low amperage side and thinner materials. I feel that a CK9 switchless torch will be of more help in this area but the WP9 will be a mainstay torch for a good few jobs. I believe the saying is 'Each to their own' Quality is good with a sturdy feel but as this has had little use so far I couldn't comment on durability though I suspect that fi used clumsily i.e. dropped to the floor the weight will cause damage to the head and especially the cup, this said those item are fair game for normal use anyway. My observation would be when using 'Pyrex' cups you need to be aware of this weight as it may result in a few more shopping trips? I would like to say I'd recommend this torch however I currently don't have a CP9 to compare it to so I'd have to sit on the fence here. In general though, I would definitely recommend buying a smaller torch for your welder to take advantage of the full range of capability, you'd be foolish not to.

Good quality, not yet used but broadens the usefulness of the TIG welder.

In retrospect I'm not sure I really needed the smaller torch at this stage but it all works as it should and it should be easier to use it tight jobs.

Using this for work on smaller workpieces, excellent quality, very happy

Bought this for lower Amp jobs where more control required and to help improve my technique. Very happy that I did.

Excellent products and service

This is a smaller version of the No.17 torch and is really excellent product. allowing you to get into tighter spaces.

Good

Friends

Machines are in constant use and liked by our staff.

The product is good

Well made product

fantastic tig welder come with all the necessary parts

excellent torch

Gave 5 stars although I have not used it yet but have every confidence in there product,

only used a couple of times so far, but really nice torch. Flex head is great.

Looks nice I didn’t use it yer

To have

Good quality, was not expecting the handle to be so chunky.

The WP9 torch is great for welding smaller items and tight areas the flex head is nice touch to

Having read extensively what type of torch suits what purpose i chose to purchase a smaller torch as much of what I planned to do would not require a full 200 amps. The smaller size of this torch makes it perfect for my sub 100 amp welding needs.

used for welding intricate motorcycle parts. other people I know who use this type of equipment. the quality is good.

Not used it yet.

Excellent, exactly what I needed.

Great torch

I will return to buy again

I restore classic cars and custom build performance engines. I’d recommend it to anyone for fabrication work. The Tig260ext machine is absolutely superb for my application.

Great product.

much neater than a #26 torch

Lovely bit of kit for the more delicate jobs.

I use this product for sheet metal welding, it’s lighter than my normal tig26 and more user friendly, I would recommend this product and I’m happy with it, quality is excellent too.

Nice and small, just what I needed, able to get into tight spots. My only wish is that it could do with a half length back cap (is there such a thing ?)

Very good.

Great addition to my welder. I mostly use this size of torch as I mostly work with thinner material and enjoy the smaller size.

rebuilding classic trucks....would and have recommended to many others Excellent quality

Not used yet, had existing model , very good

Have not used it yet

Very good fine weld even with poor skill levels

Great no problems

Early days but it appears a good product. Overall lighter than the one that came with the welder which was the reason for purchasing it. Hopefully will help in improving my welding.

Came with wrong consumables and missing switch.

All good

***

Very nice for detailed work. Obviously you will need a foot pedal

I find it light and flexible.

Good

Nice feel to this torch, with good flexible sheath on cables.

Got thisfor low current work upto 100amps. It's light and easy to manouver and the flex head make getting the ideal angle/position easy. The torch seems to be well made and expect it to last providing it's not over stressed with higher than rated current!

Nice lighter, compact torch.

Brilliant customer service Well priced Top quality equipment for DIY and professional use Super fast delivery Chuffed with my new setup ! Thank you

Good quality. Easy to handle.

Product works well, no issue yet, happy so far with all items I have purchased

Looks a nice item looking forward i testing it out fully

For DIY user like me it ticks all the boxes

Seems excellent for the limited use so far given.

Use the torch for smaller gauge work. Nice quality.

Have not used this product as yet, but all other items purchased have been excellent. Would recommend this product to anybody interested in welding. Very good quality.

I can’t fault it but I wish I’d have got a smaller torch without controls on. Now I’ve used footprdal it’s ace and will be buying a smaller torch soon.

Just what I needed. Would be good to be able to remove the larger Tig torch when buying a package deal.

Not used yet . Looks good

Great product, very good quality and fast delivery

Hobbyist & general/automotive repair use. Good for anyone looking to do the same! Nice quality, and pleasant to use!

Great for thin car body panels

Good quality product, as a tig welder racing cars. To other builders.

Excellent product, well made and would reccommend

Easy to use and the quality is excellent

Although I haven’t used it yet, it appears to be every bit as good as any I’ve used in the past

As before

Feels very well made.

Will use this mainly on stainless steel, looks of good build and quality. Again I've only started using it but it feels good.

Never had a WP9 torch before but should of bought one before, very nice to handle.

Great

Using in my hobby workshop again seem well made not used yet

Perfect , robust & durable , suitable for *** & beginners alike

Very good quality.

Small and nimble, with the right accessories you can get it into almost anywhere

I generally only work on lightweight materials so the lighter torch works brilliantly for me

Very good and well made

Much lighter and more flexible than the 200A version. Great for use in thin materials and in tighter spaces.

Quality is always first rate, no messing with works straight out of the box

Not used yet, but the quality is plain to see.

Exactly what we wanted and the costs were very fair.

good welding equipment and support.

Great torch for the price.

Both items with there ancillaries items feel robust and user friendly.

Great performing torch with a nice ergonomic design. All my machines now have them fitted.

Well-made torch, ideal for smaller material.

Hobby use Suitable for hobby and industrial use Good quality product handle could be slimmer

Nice torch, smaller and lighter than the standard one, but still with flexible joints

Again, excellent.

The superflex torch is a must for me. Very good quality and comfortable

The WP9 torch is easy to use in tighter spaces or when high Amps are not required. Recommended product from professional fabricators and pipe fitters to diy use.

Hobby/intermittent demanding use Would easily recommend to other hobbyists and professional friends High solid quality

Very nice to use and also have original torch that comes with tig set so it isn't just a swap you get both.

Another fine bit of kit from R-tech, this little guy really is handy for smaller stuff. The torch feels comfortable in hand, and has allowed me to easily weld skinny sections of steel (0.4mm) with ease! Recommended for anyone who is going body repair (like myself) to thin gauge material. - ***

welding

Well made and meets the requirement..

Used for hobby stuff on cars, would recommend to other hobbyists. Finish, design & ergonomics of these torches better than the more expensive ones you sell - dont understand why - maybe not so durable for professional use ?

Perfect

Great service

Very good quality.

Can't beat it for the price, and fits straight on there TIG sets with nothing else needed. Even comes with some collets, collet body’s and a few ceramics idea for the amps you’d be using this for. I added this to my order as an R-Tech WP26 came with the TIG set and that was a little big for some of the projects I’d be doing. It’s a must have sized torch for me and couldn’t be happier with it, nice, well made and fully cable covered. Basically everything you could want.

Only used it a few times and the handle seems a bit chunky but nice and light! Hopefully get used to it.

Finally got to use the new tig, works very well with all the functions. Great service from R-Tech

Really well built and perfect for those hard to reach places

I bought this as an alternative to the wp26 with a gas lens kit. I do a lot of thin sheet metal work and this is a superb tool, light and great in tight spaces.

Small, flexible and easy to use.

Top quality item.

Very nice torch for the fiddly jobs. Works a treat.

really good for lighter work product of good quality imppressd

*****

Yes to all

Nice quality item, good collection of accessories included.

good product which will help with making my tig welder more usable on thinner materials

Excellent

Really pleased with the wp9 tourch a must have for any tig welder

good quality product

good

Really nice light weight torch, excellent quality and tremendous value for money.

Good quality torch at a reasonable price, especially like the flex head, really good for those tight corners.

*****

Good for experienced or beginners. Excellent customer care.

Just as good as many more expensive products out there and no probs yet , would and have explained to many Garages in my area how good this item is .

I work in a College of FE so the set is to augment my workshop. not actually to train students that is an adjoining department. I find the machine very capable and the website and video tutorials excellent

Excellent quality product
