OVERVIEW

Stay Cool and Weld Heavy with the HW-27RL

When you are pushing 400 amps on thick aluminum or stainless steel, you need a torch that can take the heat without melting down or burning your hand. The ESAB HW-27RL is built exactly for that purpose. This water-cooled beast allows you to weld at high currents for extended periods, keeping the handle cool and comfortable so you can focus on laying down the perfect bead. If you are tired of stopping to let your air-cooled torch cool down, upgrading to the HW-27RL is a game-changer for your productivity.

What sets this torch apart is the convenience it offers the operator. It features a unique internal tungsten adjustment knob. We've all been there—trying to get the stick-out just right for a tight corner or a specific groove. With the HW-27RL, you can fine-tune your tungsten position easily, giving you total control over your arc without the hassle of fumbling with back caps constantly. Plus, the ability to load tungsten from either the front or the back means you can swap out electrodes in whatever way is fastest for you in the moment.

The 12.5-foot lead gives you a good working range around your bench or fixture without excessive cable clutter. The rubber cabling is tough enough to survive being dragged over concrete and metal edges but flexible enough to not fight you while you manipulate the torch. Whether you are working on critical pipe welds or heavy structural components, the ESAB HW-27RL gives you the power, cooling, and control you need to produce X-ray quality welds shift after shift.
