Reply:HARRISWhile the Victor is more forgiving, the Harris with proper tips is cheaper on gas.  It's a very economical torch to run.  Just make sure you match the tips with the thickness of the material you wanna cut.VICTOR BLOWS Attached Images"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/

Reply:i use smith, victor, and harris..... and i dont have any complaints about any of them.  they are all good regulators in my opinion.
Reply:I used to really like the victors, but now at least some models are made in china.  I have one of the chinese versions and it works fine, but I still don't like the idea.Dynasty200DX w/coolmate1MM210MM VintageESAB miniarc161ltsLincoln AC225Victor O/A, Smith AW1ACutmaster 81IR 2475N7.5FPRage3Jancy USA1019" SBAEAD-200LE
Reply:I love my ESAB and my Smith setups..  Why limit yourself to just victor or harris?  I'm sure all the big names are pretty good though...Esab TradeMaster TorchSmith AW1A Airline TorchLincoln AC/DC 225/125Millermatic 252 w/ Spoolmatic 15aThermal Arc 190 GTSSpeedGlas 9100v
Reply:I have the "older" as in age Victors and prefer them over anything else.  But I have the MECO regulators and prefer them to the Victor regulators.  Have not had as many issues with them as the Victor brand.  I am talking about the industrial quality regs here, not the elcheapo ones.  Just a matter of preference in my opinion.A few of my toys !LinuxMintManjaroMiller Roughneck 2E Lincoln WeldPak 100HTP MTS 160 Chicago Electric 80amp Inverter   Victor O/A
