OVERVIEW

Experience Superior Cooling and Comfort with CK18

Take your TIG welding performance to the next level with the CK18-25RSF from CK Worldwide. This torch is engineered for the welder who demands reliability and comfort during high-amperage applications. The standout feature of the CK18 series is its incredible cooling capacity. CK Worldwide uses a unique internal head construction that maximizes the water jacket size, delivering four times the surface area for heat dissipation compared to standard 18-series torches. This means the torch stays cooler in your hand, even when welding at its full 400-amp rating, allowing you to focus on the puddle rather than the heat radiating from the handle.

Comfort is further enhanced by the inclusion of CK's legendary Super-Flex cables. If you have ever wrestled with stiff, heavy rubber cables, you will immediately appreciate the difference. The 25-foot, 3-piece Super-Flex assembly uses high-grade silicone hoses protected by a durable nylon braid. This combination offers exceptional flexibility and durability, virtually eliminating cable drag and reducing strain on your wrist. Whether you are welding in a tight corner or maneuvering around a large fabrication, the Super-Flex cables move with you, not against you.

The CK18-25RSF is a rigid head model, providing a solid and stable platform for precision work. It is fully compatible with standard 3 Series consumables, meaning you can use the same cups, collets, and gas lenses found on standard 17, 18, and 26 style torches. This cross-compatibility simplifies inventory and ensures you can always find the parts you need. With its lightweight body (just 6.5 oz) and compact design, this torch is a perfect upgrade for any water-cooled TIG setup, delivering professional results on aluminum, stainless steel, and mild steel.

Why Choose the CK18-25RSF?

  • Cooler Operation: Massive water jacket design keeps the handle cool.
  • Higher Amperage: Rated for 400A, surpassing standard 18-series limits.
  • Ultimate Flexibility: 25ft Super-Flex cables reduce fatigue.
  • Universal Parts: Uses widely available 3 Series consumables.
