527712 - ESAB HW-24 Micro TIG Torch, 90 Degree Head, 12.5ft Cable

Precision Welding in Confined Spaces

The ESAB HW-24 TIG Torch (Part Number 527712) is a specialized tool designed to solve one of the most frustrating challenges in precision welding: lack of access. In industries ranging from aerospace and motorsports to intricate artistic fabrication, welders often encounter joints located in recesses, corners, or internal pipe diameters where a standard TIG torch simply cannot fit. The HW-24 addresses this with its ultra-compact, miniature head design featuring a 90-degree angle. This configuration allows the operator to position the tungsten electrode exactly where it is needed without the bulk of the torch body obstructing the view or the arc.

Beyond its compact geometry, the HW-24 is engineered for comfort and control. The torch comes equipped with a 12.5-foot one-piece cable. This cable design is critical for "micro" applications; it combines the power conductor and gas hose into a single, highly flexible line. This significant reduction in bulk and stiffness translates to less torque on the welder's wrist, allowing for the steady hand and fine motor control required for high-quality TIG welds. Whether you are welding inside a manifold collector or repairing a delicate instrument, the flexibility of the cable ensures that the torch moves with you, not against you.

Visibility is another key feature of the ESAB HW-24. The low-profile head ensures that the gas cup and nozzle do not block the welder's line of sight to the puddle. This is essential when working with thin-gauge materials where arc length and puddle control are paramount. Furthermore, the torch is compatible with gas lenses. Using a gas lens with the HW-24 improves the laminar flow of the shielding gas, providing better coverage and reducing turbulence, which is particularly beneficial when welding reactive metals like stainless steel or titanium in tight corners where gas turbulence can be an issue.

Key Features:

• 90-Degree Miniature Head: specifically designed to reach into tight places and confined areas.
• 12.5-Foot Cable: High flexibility one-piece design for maximum maneuverability.
• Enhanced Visibility: Small form factor provides maximum accessibility to the joint and clear sightlines.
• Gas Lens Compatible: Options available for improved shielding gas performance.
