OVERVIEW

Master Difficult Welds with Fingertip Control

Take control of your TIG welding with the Profax PTST250, a 250-amp water-cooled torch built for welders who demand versatility and power. If you have ever struggled to keep your foot on a pedal while welding out of position—under a chassis, on a ladder, or inside a tank—this torch is your solution. The built-in fingertip switch gives you instant on/off control of your contactor right at your hand, freeing you from the limitations of a foot pedal.

Heat is the enemy of any TIG torch, but the PTST250's water-cooled design keeps it running cool even at high amperages. Rated for 250 amps at 100% duty cycle, it allows you to weld thicker materials like aluminum and stainless steel continuously without stopping to let the torch cool down. The compact head design provides excellent visibility of the weld puddle and easy access into tight corners, while the lightweight cable assembly minimizes drag on your wrist.

Comfort is key for precision welding. The ergonomic handle fits naturally in your hand, providing a secure grip that helps steady your movement for those critical aesthetic welds. Because it uses industry-standard 20-series consumables, you can easily find cups, collets, and back caps at any welding supply store, keeping your operating costs low. Whether you are upgrading your current machine or replacing a worn-out torch, the Profax PTST250 offers the professional reliability you need to get the job done right.

Don't let equipment limitations hold you back. Switch to a torch that adapts to your working environment. With the PTST250, you get the power of a water-cooled system combined with the ultimate convenience of hand control, making it an essential tool for pipe welders, fabricators, and maintenance professionals.
