These torch bodies connect to compatible torch handles and consumables to create air-cooled TIG torches. The torches are cooled by ambient air and shielding gas during welding tasks and do not require an external water source and water hoses. They are typically easier to set up and maintain and better suited for outdoor use or mobile welding applications than water-cooled torches. They may become too hot to hold if used for long periods of time and are best suited for short, low-amperage welding applications.

These torch bodies connect to compatible torch handles and consumables to create water-cooled TIG torches, which are cooled by water or coolant during welding tasks. Water-cooled torches require hoses and an external source of water or coolant to operate, so they are ideal for stationary welding setups. They do not get too hot to hold when used for long, continuous welding tasks, and they can be used in high-amperage welding applications.
