Campbell Hausfeld WT5000 Oxygen Acetylene Tote
By SJK
I bought this exact same outfit several years ago and it has been perfect for my gas welding, brazing and cutting needs. This Campbell Hausfeld welding outfit is actually a rebranded Gentec 12-PTC torch outfit. If you buy it under the Gentec name, as I did, you can sometimes save even more by not paying for another brand names markup. It came complete with empty 20 Cu/Ft Oxy and MC acetylene tanks, MC tank wrench, single-stage regulators, welding torch with a #1 tip, cutting attachment with a #0 tip, hoses, spark igniter, plastic tote and welding goggles. The torch handle includes check valves, as most do these days, but I still added some actual flame arrestors that I got from McMaster-Carr as extra flash back protection.This set is imported, but it has held up well and it was also the most reasonably priced tote style torch outfit I could find, being much less expensive than similar sets sold by Lincoln, Harris, Smith and Victor. Back when I bought mine, the Lincoln tote set actually had the exact same single-stage regulators and black plastic regulator knobs as this Gentec set, so my guess would be they were outsourcing those to Gentec, at least at that time.You'll definitely want to buy some other additional sizes of welding tips, speaking of which, this torch uses industry standard Victor style welding and cutting tips that you can find at any welding supply house. I find that a #2 tip is the most versatile and is pretty much the one that I normally just leave on the torch and use for almost everything. Also with the #2 tip, I find I can braze a whole range of sizes of copper ACR tubing.I don't really use the cutting attachment though, since once you squeeze the handle it uses straight O2 and you can go through a small 20 Cu/Ft tank with it faster than you can say Rumpelstiltskin. I generally don't need it for what I do with this torch set anyway.For things like auto exhaust pipes, at a coupling where two rusted and fused together pipes join, if you use it correctly, a #1 torch tip will work perfectly to vaporize and cut the outer pipe along the entire length of the joint, while leaving the inner pipe completely intact. You can then use a hammer and cold chisel to catch the edge of the cut on the outer pipe and just peel it off, separating the two pipes. I've done this several times on my own vehicles. Overall, I have been very pleased with this torch outfit, so would have no problem recommending it to anyone looking to buy one.
