Standard Kit or Pro Kit — which is right for you?
Both kits weld, braze, heat and cut — up to 25 mm steel. Standard suffices for most hobby users. Pro gives more tips, extensions and acetylene/air tip for lead loading and tight spaces.

Unsure? Most hobby users do fine with Standard. Pro accessories can be bought separately later if your needs grow.
When you need Pro
Bodywork and sheet-metal work
8 welding nozzles with intermediate sizes for precise heat control in thin sheet.
Lead loading and soft soldering
Acetylene/air nozzle for lower temperature during lead loading.
Tight spaces
Straight and bent extensions for wheel wells, beams and hard-to-reach places.
Choose your kit in four steps
1. Start with the materials
Both kits weld steel, stainless, aluminium and cast iron – aluminium and cast iron with wire and flux. The material does not decide the choice.
2. Think about sheet thickness
Standard has nozzles 0, 1, 2 and 3. If you do a lot of thin body panels, Pro adds the intermediate sizes 00, 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5 for more precise heat.
3. Lead loading or tight spaces?
Pro has an acetylene/air nozzle for lead loading and soft soldering, plus a straight and a bent extension for wheel wells and beams.
4. Unsure? Start with Standard
Most hobby users do fine with Standard. Pro accessories can be bought separately later if your needs grow.
Typical jobs for each kit
Standard Kit
Car restoration, repairs and general craft: welding, brazing, heating seized nuts and cutting steel up to 25 mm.
Pro Kit
Bodywork and sheet-metal fabrication where you need more nozzle sizes, lead loading and extensions for hard-to-reach places.
Whichever kit you choose
Oxygen and acetylene in ordinary cylinders, regulators rated 0–1 bar, a low-pressure twin hose, DIN 5 welding goggles and gloves. Existing gear usually fits.

What is the difference between the Standard Kit and the Pro Kit?
The Pro Kit has everything in the Standard Kit plus four extra welding nozzles (00, 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 – eight in total), an acetylene/air nozzle for lead loading and soft soldering, and two extensions, one straight and one bent.
Is the Standard Kit enough for hobby use?
Yes. Most hobby users do fine with the Standard Kit. It welds, brazes, heats and cuts steel up to 25 mm.
Can I upgrade to Pro later?
Yes. Pro accessories can be bought separately later if your needs grow.
Can both kits cut?
Yes. Both the Standard Kit and the Pro Kit include a copper cutting nozzle and a cutting carriage for straight cuts in steel up to 25 mm.
Are check valves and flashback arrestors included?
Check valves at the handle are included in both kits. Flashback arrestors at the regulators are not included.
What do I need besides the kit?
Oxygen and acetylene in ordinary cylinders, regulators for both gases (0–1 bar), a low-pressure twin hose, DIN 5 welding goggles and gloves.
What do the kits cost, and what about shipping and returns?
See the current price in the shop. Free shipping over 999 SEK (Sweden) / €199 (EU), delivery within Europe and a 30-day return period.
