well my old torch setup was a victor unit and like a fool I loaned it out, I got it back in pieces with several missing, and the torch is $%^^&* up, so as its 34 years old and I just said screw it!,
I went down to the local miller dealer, asked about the best value in a torch combo for up to 3/8" steel and purchased the harris combo, I mostly use a torch for brazeing and finer work, as the TIG and MIGs in the shop do most of the heavier stuff.

BTW I got asked about these torches,
Ive seen them before and know people that like them, but IVE never had the opertunity to try one yet and don,t know much about them, SORRY I can,t be more help

Have you ever tried brazing with a TIG ? I am not sure about light material , but on heavier metals I find it works quite well.

Im not as comfortably useing the TIG yet for BRAZING as Ive used the OXY ACETOLENE torch for over 35 years for silver soldering and brazing, (now the OXY ACETOLENE torch is used mostly in the shop, for semi-permenantly locking the oil pump pick-up to the pump bodys) heating and bending things and some welding on thin stuff.
