The Weldcraft A-150 TIG Torch Package (formerly known as the WP-17 series) represents the gold standard in air-cooled TIG welding technology. Designed for professionals who demand reliability and ease of use, this package (SKU: WP-17-25-MF) combines the proven geometry of the classic WP-17 torch body with modern ergonomic enhancements and premium cabling. It is an essential tool for fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and field repair technicians who require a versatile torch capable of handling a wide range of amperage outputs without the complexity of a water-cooled system.
One of the standout features of this specific package is the inclusion of the 25-foot Monoflex™ braided rubber power cable. Unlike standard vinyl cables that can become stiff in cold environments or melt easily upon contact with hot surfaces, the Monoflex cable maintains exceptional flexibility and durability. This braided rubber design resists kinking and abrasion, ensuring a consistent flow of shielding gas and power while significantly reducing the drag felt by the welder. This reduction in cable torque allows for finer control over the torch, resulting in higher-quality welds and less operator fatigue over long shifts.
The A-150 is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing shop environments. It utilizes the widely available Weldcraft 10N (3 Series) consumables, meaning you likely already have the collets, collet bodies, and nozzles needed to run this torch. This backward compatibility ensures that upgrading to the A-150 does not require a complete overhaul of your inventory. The torch is rated for 150 amps DC and 115 amps AC at a 60% duty cycle, making it robust enough for welding mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum across various thicknesses.
Weldcraft has engineered the A-150 with the operator in mind. The Diamond Grip™ head design provides tactile feedback and secure finger placement, while the ribbed handle promotes airflow to keep the grip cool during extended use. Whether you are performing intricate aerospace work or general pipe welding, the A-150 delivers the control and comfort necessary for precision results.
