Value of a Handy Auto torch

Is that like a Henrob? or what ever they called it.

No its a electric powered tractor torch.

Value of a used one? Hard to say. They are super expensive new, maybe $1600-1800. Used, 1/2 that?

Very cool though. A fab shop I worked at had the Victor (?) version, it was before the widespread use of plasma and/or "cheap" and easy CNC. Guys could cut out heavy plate that looked like it was laser cut with that thing. Real impressive in the hands of an experienced welder.

This is a short video showing how the torch is used.

Hard to give a price since they aren't very common but I'd guess 4 or $500. I don't know what a new one costs but if the price was too high, people would just get a radiagraph instead.
