I have had my PowerTig 200DV for several weeks now and completed several jobs, one of which the welder was purchased specifically for.Ya gotta love it when a job pays for new equipment. Anyway, the factory Everlast torch worked properly out of the box but was WAY too stiff. I did some internet research (watched Jody) and really liked the FL1512SF. Flex-Loc 150 amp 12 foot SuperFlex. I also bought a Dinse SL2-35QD to adapt to my machine. The torch is a feather weight and the hose is so flexible you dont even know it is there. Literally, you cannot feel it is there. Its best suited for lower amps or short jobs at higher amps. Its tiny and doesnt handle heat like the bulky factory torch but you can find that perfect angle on every weld. It is VERY rigid, at least as rigid as the big torch and locks and unlocks easily with TIG gloves on. In short its performance is beyond my expectations. Way to go CK.
