OVERVIEW

Get Your Spark Back

There is nothing more frustrating than being ready to cut through a 3-inch pin or a tangled mess of rebar, only to have your SLICE torch fail to light. If you are clicking away and getting no spark, or if you have to wiggle the rod just right to get an arc, it is time to replace your striker. The Arcair SLICE Striker Assembly (72-012-010) is the direct replacement for the ignition strip on your SLICE torch handle. It’s the part that takes the abuse every time you light up, and eventually, it wears out.

This isn't a generic knock-off; it's the real-deal Arcair part designed to fit your torch perfectly. The heavy-duty copper strip provides a clean, solid surface for your cutting rod to make contact with, ensuring you get an instant arc the moment you need it. Whether you are running off a 12V battery in the back of a truck or a shop power supply, a fresh striker assembly means you stop fighting your equipment and start cutting metal.

Don't wait until you are out in the mud or hanging off a piece of equipment to realize your ignition is dead. Keep your SLICE system running like new. Swapping this out takes just a few minutes, and it saves you the headache of failed starts. It’s a small part that makes a huge difference when you have heavy cutting to do.

FAQ

The striker assembly provides a conductive surface on the torch handle that, when touched by the cutting rod, completes an electrical circuit (usually 12V) to create a spark and ignite the oxygen flow.

It is designed for the standard Arcair SLICE torch handles. Please verify your specific torch model diagram, but it fits the most common pistol-grip style SLICE torches.

Replace the striker when the copper surface is deeply pitted, eroded, or no longer creates a consistent spark when the rod is applied.

No, this is only the striker mechanism that mounts to the torch. The 12V battery and cables are sold separately.

The SLICE system can be used for underwater cutting, but you must ensure all components and safety protocols for underwater ignition are followed. This part itself is a standard replacement.

No, installation typically involves removing a few screws on the torch housing, swapping the assembly, and reconnecting the lead. It can be done in the field.

Check your battery charge, ensure the cables are securely connected to the battery and the torch, and verify the rod is making good contact with the bare metal of the striker.

It utilizes a conductive copper or copper-alloy strip designed to handle the high-current short circuit required for ignition without melting immediately.
