I've not tried other brands of this style, but I'm supposed to be getting another brand to try. The prototype has been back for several revisions, so I haven't seen it yet, but after the time involved, it should really be something.

You can't go wrong with CK products, that is for sure. The Flexloc you mention, is it the same as this one HTP sells?

A benefit to the flexloc is that you can change the head only. The series 2 head is smaller and accepts -20 consumables. The series 3 head accepts -17 consumables.
Since the flexloc is only water-cooled to the knuckle, and the hear is air (argon) cooled, you can use the bigger stuff for extended runs at high amps, and swap back to the smaller stuff for close-quarter work without having two torches.
