OVERVIEW

Get a Grip on Your Welds with the Weldcraft A-150 (WP-17)

If your TIG torch has seen better days, it's time to upgrade to the genuine Weldcraft A-150 (WP-17) Torch Body. Known for decades as the WP-17, this air-cooled workhorse is the go-to choice for welders who need reliable performance without the hassle of water-cooling systems. Whether you are working on a custom hot rod, repairing farm equipment, or fabricating stainless steel in your garage, the A-150 delivers the 150-amp punch you need in a package that feels great in your hand.

Comfort is king when you're under the hood for hours. That's why Weldcraft designed the A-150 with their patented Diamond Grip™ head. This innovative design features ergonomic contact points that naturally fit your fingers, giving you better control over the torch. Less fatigue means steadier hands and better-looking beads. The body itself is wrapped in high-temperature silicone rubber that stays cool and resists damage from heat and sparks. Unlike cheap knock-offs that can leak high-frequency current and shock you, this genuine Miller/Weldcraft part is built to insulate and protect.

This is the Rigid Head version, providing a solid, durable angle for general-purpose welding. It accepts all standard 17-series consumables, so you don't have to buy a whole new kit of cups and collets. Simply swap out your old, cracked, or burnt-up torch body with this new one, attach your existing handle and power cable, and you are back in business. Don't let a faulty torch ruin your weld or your day—trust the brand that pros use.
