Hi,

I have a PowerPro 205 (like it a lot) which comes with a weld-pro type model 26 torch. I decided to purchase some extra collets and discovered there exists "stubby" versions of collet and collet-body.

Is it safe to assume the stubby and non-stubby components cannot be intermixed and also, is the purpose of the stubby components so that you can cram the torch into places it would otherwise not fit? BTW: For now, I only purchased a couple spare standard-sized collet, collet bodies and shielding gaskets to have on hand.

Other questions: I see there are "gas lens" setups available. What's the advantage or, is it an issue of personal preference?

And finally, there are many other models of torch available such as 17, 18 etc... What are the major differences in the models?

Much thanks..

Ray
