Why CK runs the table

Art Kleppen and Jim Conley started in a garage with one goal: make TIG less of a fight. Their silicone rubber torch heads outlasted the old phenolic junk, shrugged off current leakage, and survived the drop test every welder eventually runs by accident. That was just the first of a long list of firsts.

Stuff CK invented that everybody else copied:

• Silicone Rubber Insulation
• Gas Saver Kits
• Max-Flo Water Cooling
• Wedge Collets
• Flex-Loc Torches
• Super-Flex Hoses
• Fail-Safe Hose Connectors

The diamond standard is not a slogan

Every part gets checked for quality and consistency before it ships. CK's QA crew picks apart how each piece functions on the job, so the torch in your hand and the consumables feeding it are dialed. No weak links.

Whatever the job, there's a CK for it

Standard, MasterTIG, Diamond, UltraTIG torches. Gas saver kits, wedge collets, cables, hoses, remote amperage controls, cold wire feeders, purge chambers, tungsten grinders, and the MT200 and MT375 machines. Big line, no gaps.
