HTP USAWELD 81295-T10 Century Welder Replacement Mig Welding Gun

Everything was perfect

Excellent product. I ordered this for hubby and his Clarke 160EN welder. That model wasn't listed as a compatible model in the item's description but hubby says it fits & works perfectly (Clarke 130EN & 180 EN were the models listed). No instructions were included, but he said it was easy to install. Clarke isn't made anymore, and he was pleased to find this Made-in-the-USA part. Buying through Amazon was especially easy, as always. Great part, great seller (UnbeatableSale, Inc), happy hubby, another great Amazon experience.

3 ft longer than the factory whip and shiny and new! installed perfectly and no issues, have used it many times with no issues. both with gas and without.

good fit and function, couldn't find it anywhere else

Bought this for my old Matco Tools 180A MIG welder. Installs and operates as it should. This welder is my workhorse for all kinds of projects and glad I can keep her running strong.

Perfect fit. Worked great, but only for the first use. Second time I used it the trigger stopped working. I have to hold the gun in just the perfect way to get it to activate the welder feed.$85 is a lot of money for a single use.

the gun is of an acceptable quality; however i had to make some modifications to get it to fit my machine. The workmanship and quality of parts is very acceptable.

After being completely frustrated by the lack of product information, I decided to just take a chance, buy the gun, and see what I got. Even then, the mystery continued as the gun came with no paperwork whatsoever, not even the diagram from the top of this page. BTW, you might want to try to print out that diagram because it has parts numbers that aren't included anywhere else.It's taken a little detective work on my part, but here's what I now know so far:This is an HTP MIG torch. These are from usaweld.com, the company that bought HTP. This gun has an internal gas valve and a 4mm O.D. white pipe gas hose, and therefore should be a good replacement for any of the European MIGs with the valve in torch setup.First of all, the consumables are STANDARD TWECO MINI-MIG style, which is great because you can get contact tips at your local hardware store or building supply center, as well as at any welding supply (same style as Lincoln). The nozzle is a screw-on Tweco 21-50, which is also easy to find. The diffuser unscrews (LHT) from the neck and is also standard Tweco style. All of this is GREAT NEWS. These parts are all called consumables because they are consumed or used up during the welding process and need to be replaced regularly.I haven't as yet determined whether I can turn on the gas by pulling the trigger partway, as was possible with the original valve in torch guns. I considered that to be a real advantage over the more common solenoid operated gas valves found on American MIGs because it made adjusting the flow so easy, and allowed pre and post gas flow as on a TIG torch.Tomorrow, I'm installing this torch on an Italian Cebora, badged as an Astro. I will post more information as I go. So far, this torch is about the same cost as obtaining a rare replacement gas valve from England. And so far, I'm very pleased with the gun. Having standard Tweco consumables is a big plus. My original gun used Tweco contact tips, but the Nozzles, diffusers, and gas valves were tricky to track down, even twenty years ago.These guns should be suitable replacements for any of the Cebora family MIG welders which were sold as Cebora, Clark, Snap-On, MacTools, Matco, Napa, Century, AstroPneumatic, and several other brands. They should also work on the Italian S.I.P. and Black Beauty welders which also had the valve in torch arrangement.Overall quality seems good, and I will report here any problems I may run into.BZ
