Too bad - supplied collets do not work

Everything looked great, all parts were included as described and arrived intact. BOTH 3/32 collets are overbored and cannot be tightened to hold tungsten with a standard collet body or gas lenses. And not just a tad too big, like someone literally used the wrong size drill bit. You can see the difference by looking at it next to a working collet. My e3 brand tungsten bulbs from my LWS work great in my Lincoln flashlight parts as well as all the gear they had during the 4 month community college course I just completed. I'll try and see if I can get compatible short collets from my LWS so I can use this kit if it doesn't come back. The 1/16" pieces worked great. I didn't weld much with pyrex cups to see how well they held onto the burner. Other reviews mention that the green o-rings get too soft when heated and the cups falling off the torch.repeatedly so hopefully I won't have to deal with that.I will probably stay away from welding products made in China in the future.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Cleanliness
