Reply:I think he's looking for a lighter-weight gun to run .023 wire.The Tweco 160 is a pretty good gun; Abicor-Binzel guns are a bit more $$$ but very light and good ergonomics. I've also heard good things about Profax guns but haven't used one myself.If possible, go to your LWS and try before you buy.JohnA few weldersA lot of hammersA whole lot of C-clamps

Reply:The blue Binzel uses the Metric Binzel tips, but like I said before, the newer Esab tips too.Take a real good look at the OXO handle Benard setup, or even the standard handle. You can get a euro too. These are really fine guns too. If you got a adjustable neck, you could change the angle down the road..http://www.bernardwelds.com/service/...dle1.2_002.pdfhttp://www.bernardwelds.com/service/.../Q1501v1.5.pdfLast edited by Brand X; 01-19-2012 at 11:59 AM.Esab/Lorch ET-220iEsab 160i caddyThermal LM-200 Lincoln feedersThermal Pee-Wee 85sThermal 60i- 3phase /RPC powered (Beast)Thermal Drag-gun 35CINE 1500 Klutch 140i
