Help with TIG Torches!

[PKAero]

Although I have owned a Lincoln TIG Square Wave 175 Pro for almost 15 years I still consider myself a rank armature at TIG welding. I set the unit it back up last night and realized that a lot of my problem is the POS torch (LA-9) that came with the unit. Cable is very stiff and can never find a position that doesn’t feel like it’s in a bind.

I am in the market for a new torch. I weld micro-medium size parts (10-100AMPS) less than 1/8 inch al and steel.

So what type of torch should I buy???

I have little TIG experience but I have used a flex handle torch from Weldcraft that seemed to be more comfortable. They also make a micro torch but I think they are water cooled.

I was looking at the Weldcraft also the new Lincoln torches with adjustable gas flow at the handle. That might be nice since I weld some very small parts.
