Henrob torch

[tejuban]

anyone out there have a Henrob torch? would like the pro's and con's the help me make a decision to purchase or not. I know they are expensive but looks like they would be easier to use for a novice. appreciate any advise.

Do a search for the Henrob. There's been a couple of really good discussions on them.

I have one, don't use it often, but love it.

It's sorta like having a mountain bike versus just having a bicycle and wanting to ride trails. You can do the trail riding without the mountain bike. But it isn't near as much fun nor half as easy.

Go look at the REAL torches on www.tinmantech.com. For the price of the Henrob you can have some versatile tools John

From the site:
Russ Erb's (and others) Meco Testimonials!

I've given up my Henrob 2000. It still works as good as the day I got it, and I did weld the wing parts, tail feathers, and fuselage with it.

But since I bought the Meco Midget from Kent at Oshkosh this year, I haven't looked back. It's a wonderful torch for what we're doing and I'll stand up and recommend it to anyone who'll listen!

(Okay there was one time after getting the Meco that I used the Henrob because I needed a larger tip than the Meco would handle--for some reason the Henrob just didn't seem as nice anymore after using the Meco--sort of a "How Ya Gonna Keep 'em Down On The Farm After They've Seen Paris?")

I've never seen or used a Smith torch, and they must be good because
budd likes them, but I'm so happy now with the Meco I'm not even interested in trying any other torches.
