jwright650 I have one of those TIG fingers at home in El Paso, Texas. I was down here visiting my parents and put a job application hoping one day to get back int the area and they ended up calling me the next day. My hood, boots, all my equipment including my TIG finger are sitting in garage back home so I had to scramble to get a hood, boots, shirt, ect, ect. None of the welding shops out here carried anything I could use for a TIG finger. If I get hired I will be able to bring all my stuff down here before it starts. I think I have a good idea on the things I can improve on doing that joint. I guarantee that I will never float another stinger that's for sure.
I have worn out two of them so far, good thing I bought the pack of six! They work and have saved me hassle, time and most importantly skin! Great product!
