Hi Warren,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I've read and watched pretty much everything that's been written and on video on the Henrob, they’ve been around for 29-years so it definitely has the longevity. They're not sold in the welding supply shops as they are not production torches. They're more for artists, car restorers, hobby aircraft builders, etc.

They're also not the take it from the case and start using it the way you have been using other torches for years. There's a learning curve to them and that seems to have frustrated some people. They are low pressure and use a pinpoint flame. A lot of car restorers and aircraft builders love them.I'm interested in one as I have a small workshop with no room (or power) for all the other tools (plasma, TIG) -- I'm not ready to invest in them yet anyway even if I could find the room.

To my current way of thinking, from my reading and video watching, the Henrob is more like a Swiss Army Knife torch. It can be used for cutting steel somewhat similar to a plasma cutter, it will weld steel (including thin with little or no warping), aluminum, braze, etc. With that in mind the price isn't that bad compared to what I'd need to buy to do those same things.

Would love to find a used one which would make it even more affordable. :-)
