AF or HT series?

I am trying to get away from Tweco's 532 model... as much as I like them they are not made in the states.

The Lencos look good in their catalogue, except the handle retention screw looks like it might be a little shady... any input?

Thanks

Almost everything tweeco is no longer made in the states, tips, diffusers etc. Shame.

I have been using the Lenco DURO for about 10 years. I wouldn't use anything else

Cactus which one do you use the 250 or the 300?

Prefer the AF style because of the streamlined angle of the release lever. I can toss a stub and slip in a new rod, get fired back up B4 the slag freezes. Work fast, take quality breaks...

I prefer a Lincoln T300 cut down and customized but a tweco 250 is hard to beat

I like the stinger v. Had mine for almost a year. Still holds the rod very tight. But if you have a helper who just drags it you will lose your spring.

I have been using T300 (cut down) forever. You just have to be a little more careful not to arcout on something. I use one on my stinger and grasshopper.
