Well,

As I was wondering about this some time ago, regarding my own 210 EXT, there apparently is a source for the new CK Steady Grip amptrol for Everlast TIG welders.

And, I don't know why Mr. TIG himself didn't pipe up about this when I posed the question at his Weld.com forum, as I'm guess that there may be a good bit of interest from Everlast customers.

So, maybe this one for the 200DX/DV would work on many other Everlast units, as the pot for a 200DX/DV is a 47K one and the connector and pinout wiring are undoubtedly the same for many Everlast units, I'm guessing.

I'm pretty sure a 210EXT works fine with both a 47 or a 50K potentiometer.

Also, even though Mr. TIG sells these for the AHP units, in which the 2015 version has, I believe, the same connector as many Everlasy units, the pinout wiring is different, and neither the 2014-and-prior nor the 2015 version are 47 or 50K pots. But that may be a good thing for some Everlast unit owners, if those AHP rated pots match some Everlast units, as changing the pinout wiring at the connector is undoubtedly not a big deal for most here.

So, there's a couple ways to go for someone wanting to try one of these Pistol Grip amptrols on an Everlast TIG welder. Like I mentioned here before, Mr. TIG used one on a YouTube video with an Everlast 325EXT, and Mr. TIG was impressed.

I'll undoubtedly get one of these at some point, mostly to satisfy my own curiosity, and to actually use it, too, I think, with an air-cooled series 17 torch that I have. I'm still getting used to the amptrol that Everlast sells for a series 26 TIG torch, which I think has an added ability that a Steady Grip amptrol does not, in that the Everlast has an arc initiator button separate from the amptrol dial, which allows the use of the 4T function in conjunction with amperage adjustment. And, besides, the Steady Grip is pretty pricey, and will undoubtedly stay that way for a while, as it undoubtedly relies on the taxpayer-subsidized Statist invention known as Intellectual Property laws, i.e., a new US Patent, which is State-enforced for 17 or 20 years, I believe. I mean, the Everlast amptrol unit comes with the whole torch, hose, and Dinse connector as a complete assembly. But, the Steady Grip is a slight innovation that I do want to experiment with, so I'll probably purchase one at some point.

But, please, nobody here wait on me to try it first, as it may be a while. And if someone does try it soon, on an Everlast unit (besides Mr. TIG) as an end-user with one of these that needs no modification, please share how it goes with Everlast forum members here.

Peace to you all,
C. Livingstone
