When it comes to quality TIG torches, cables and accessories, welders consistently give CK Worldwide top marks. And of all the excellent things made by CK, the Flex-Loc is king.

Need to weld in a corner? Behind something? In a tight spot? With its 360-degree variable angle head that can be locked in any position, Flex-Loc is the answer to all your troublesome projects.

As part of CK’s MasterTIG Series, Flex-Loc is available for air-cooled (130 and 150 amps) or water-cooled (230 amps and 250 amps) in 2 Series (FL2L) and 3 Series (FL3L) head styles and there’s an optional valve design for air-cooled. Stubby consumables are compatible with all the FL3L Flex-Loc heads.

Flex-Loc’s interchangeable head allows different size tungsten and head sizes to be quickly and easily changed. Weighing just 5 ounces, it’s ergonomically designed to reduce fatigue while providing optimal control.

WHAT USERS ARE SAYING

“This torch is extremely comfortable and ready to go in any tight situation. I like how small and well made it is,” said one reviewer. “Huge fan of CK Worldwide. Best in the business. Favorite torch to date.”

“Very flexible, easily adjustable and lightweight. Excellent torch,” said another.

With all its unique attributes, it should come as no surprise that Flex-Loc is popular with old-timers and new welders alike:_­

“I’ve been welding for 35 years, this is now my all-time favorite tig.”

“In my opinion the greatest air cooled tig torch available (FL1525VSF). If you are new to tig welding like myself, this torch allows you to get comfortable in almost any position. You can actually focus on arc length, torch angle and adding filler without using some funky prop to steady yourself.”

Flex-Loc also is perfect for walking the cup because once set at the preferred angle the head is rigidly locked into position.

“Absolutely love this torch...,” a recent reviewer said. “The ability to move the head around makes welding out of position so much better. … Takes a lot of the muscle fatigue out of the picture when walking the cup on pipe.”

For ultimate flexibility and ease in hard-to-reach areas, consider adding Super-Flex cables to your set up or purchase a Flex-Loc torch kit with Super-Flex cables.
