Review on WeldingCity WP 17FV 25R Flexible Gas Valve Complete by James Broome

Excellent build quality and exactly what you expect. I replaced a 12ft cord #26 fixed headlamp with this and it's great for the close quarters pipe welding that I do at work. It should be noted that I worked 20 hours with this new flashlight and the rubber in the head broke. I don't think I've abused it or exceeded its duty cycle, but I've never had a torch head failure like this. I got 2 replacement heads from the same seller and the first pair lasted probably 80 hours with no problems. As far as I can tell they have the same build quality so maybe it's just a coincidence. Again very happy with replacing the thick #26 burner and adding another 13 feet to my lead. Product quality has gone up and time has gotten shorter, and I haven't had to squeeze that torch club into some of the bottlenecks I work with.
