harris vs: victor

I have always used a harris torch but have recently been disappointed. I was going to switch to a victor torch but wanted some input.

 

I use Victor setups everyday @ work, in my opinion, they're the best.

 

I like the Victor, been using them forever. I mostly use the junior anymore but can drag out the journeyman if I need to do heavy chores.
The biggest difference is in the O-ring design. The Victor O-rings are indestructable and one little flashback will take them out on a Harris, Smith or any of that design.

 

I have been in the Fabrication business for about 16 years and in my opinion, Victor can't be beat. I just used ours the other day cutting 2" plate steel. The biggest tip we had was still way undersized for the job, but it made the cut and did a good job of it.

Smith torches never seem to last like Victors, and the O-rings are too easily damaged. I don't know that I have ever used a Harris Torch.

 

victors are great and around here very easy to get parts for. we have used them for years!

 

Thanks for all the input guys you have made my decision easier>
