Smith Tag-A-Long Portable Acetylene Welding & Cutting Outfit (No Tanks)

Grab-and-Go Welding Power with the Smith Tag-A-Long

For welders, plumbers, and HVAC techs who are constantly on the move, the Smith TL-500 Tag-A-Long Acetylene Outfit is the ultimate travel companion. We all know the struggle of lugging heavy oxy-fuel gear up ladders, onto rooftops, or into the back of a service truck. Smith has solved this with a complete cutting and welding system that weighs less than 35 pounds and packs neatly into a rugged, high-density polyethylene carrier. This isn't just a flimsy plastic box; it's a durable tote designed to take the abuse of the road while keeping your regulators and torch protected.

Don't let the small size fool you—this is a full-featured Smith rig. It comes with the legendary CW5A torch handle and CC509P cutting attachment. You get the same quality flame stability and ease of adjustment that Smith is famous for in their shop-sized units. The kit includes the Series 30 regulators, which are compact yet precise, giving you smooth gas flow without the constant need for readjustment. Whether you are brazing copper lines, cutting through rusted bolts, or fabricating a bracket on-site, this outfit delivers the heat you need.

One of the standout features for daily users is the Graf-Tite soft seats in the tips. Unlike metal-to-metal seats that can get scratched and start leaking if you look at them wrong, Graf-Tite seats are compressible and practically indestructible. They seal tight every time, even if you're swapping tips in a hurry. The torch handle also features internal threads, meaning if you accidentally drop the torch (and we all do), you aren't going to smash the threads and ruin the handle. It's these thoughtful engineering touches that save you money and downtime in the long run.

The TL-500 comes with everything you need to hook up to your tanks and start burning: 12.5 feet of hose, a striker, goggles, and the necessary tips for general work. Since this version is sold without tanks, it's perfect if you already have a set of MC and R cylinders or prefer to lease them from your local gas supplier. Toss it in the truck, carry it to the job, and get to work with confidence.
