    Question WP-20 Euro vs. Regular Handle

    I was thinking about getting this torch:

    and was wondering if anyone has a Euro style 9 or 20. If so, how much bulkier is it than the standard torch? It looks like it would be somewhat preferable to the strap-on style switch that came with mine if it doesn't add too much overall girth.

    Everlast Powerplasma 60 - Reliable unit, cuts well.
    Everlast i-MIG 250P w/spoolgun - Really smooth, plenty of cajones.
    Everlast 250EXT - Sometimes it just takes a kick in the balls...

    Looks like the same handle with a smaller head.

    The strap on is WAY better, you can put it where you need it. the fixed button can be hard to reach.

    Looking at the other picture, I don't see any flats that would key it into a single position. If it does rotate, the only issue left for me would be the diameter. I've got an e-mail in to the guy asking about the adjustability, but with his English skills, who knows what kind of an answer I will get.

    The front to back adjustment is also important. I have the euro on my smaller tig and it's my least favorite part of the welder.

    I hadn't thought of that aspect, I just know that I am having a rather difficult time finding a comfortable way to hold the torch and the strap-on doesn't really help matters any. I can only imagine how frustrated I would be right now if it had come with the 18.
