Torch Recommendation?

Yeah, Rambozo an Buggy Chief,

And that's why I'm thinking that whatever the pot value is on the SteadyGrip that Mr. TIG is selling for his Mr. TIG 200DV "Mr. TIG approved" welder (which is analog with a 47K pot, like my digital 210EXT) at TigDepot, it will be able to be used on many Everlast models. Although it seem that Mr. TIG is the only seller for the SteadyGrip for welder beyond about three major welder brands, and all of their pots are lower K numbers, which have the same connectors as 6-pin, 8-pin, or 14-pin, and no others to speed of. It's Mr. TIG, alone, that seems to be implementing solutions for Everlast, AHP, etc, regarding the CK SteadyGrip.

It's just funny that, when I had that SteadyGrip from TigDepot, I was so cautious in not actuating the slide when I saw the readout at 805. But that is just an apparent anomaly at the top of the slide action, which I finally noticed also occurred when Mr. TIG was demonstrating the SteadyGrip on his 325EXT in the video.

So, Mr. TIG is currently double checking the SteadyGrip for use on my Everlast model, and I'm pretty sure it will work fine. So, it will probably also work fine on any analog 47K pot Everlast unit too, and probably on all of the Everlast digital units too. And I'm hoping to get that same SteadyGrip unit back soon, to then fearlessly slide that action and begin using it.

Yeah, I also figured that that Peavy pot is a pot only, with no switch. But, that could be a benefit for a one-off unit, in having a contact switch (button style) as a separate function (at the front, side, or back), much like the hand amptrol TIG torch Everlast sells now, which is just a Migatronic torch with the amptrol built-in, which I have. That enables the 4T function to work in conjunction with the pot at the torch, which I'm not hating. But the torch is a 26, which is large, but I also like that it handle heat a little better.

Anyway, I'm not a PowerUser, but now that I have a machine which is more than a basic DC TIG machine, I'm going to do some aluminum stuff at some point and want to get as comfortable as possible with utilizing the machine well.

Otherwise, this point has been belabored, at least by me. But, I do think the SteadyGrip will soon be one more option for some Everlast users.

Peace to you all,
C. Livingstone

I could accept that price if it came with the torch, otherwise it's about 3x over reasonable imo... but everyone else that sells it is even higher than Mr Swaim.
I'd like to have a pencil type torch with the cable connecting at 110 degrees, 4½ inches above the cup. Writing style is more comfortable to me but the handle is in the way on a regular torch and the cable would pull too much on a normal pencil torch.
