Light and easy to maneuver, the PTA-17 is perfect for getting into position and laying down perfect beads on mild steel, stainless, or chrome-moly.

Comfort and Control
Welding fatigue can impact weld quality, which is why Lincoln Electric designed the Pro-Torch series with ergonomics in mind. The handle features a comfortable knurled texture that ensures a non-slip grip, giving you the confidence and control required for intricate TIG work. Additionally, the handle includes a molded lip that makes attaching a zippered cable cover simple and secure, keeping your leads protected and your setup tidy.

Built for Performance
This K1782-2 model comes equipped with a 12.5-foot, 2-piece power cable, providing ample reach for bench work and medium-sized projects. The 2-piece design is robust and standard for many power sources, ensuring reliable conductivity and gas flow. With a 60% duty cycle at 150 amps, you can weld longer with confidence. The rigid head design is tough and durable, ideal for day-to-day fabrication tasks where flexibility is less critical than rugged reliability.

Applications
From automotive repair and motorsports fabrication to metal art and general maintenance, the PTA-17 is a workhorse. It uses standard, easy-to-find consumables, making it a cost-effective solution for any shop. Backed by Lincoln Electric's reputation for quality, this torch is an investment in better welds and a smoother welding experience.
