I bought a similar quality (to HF) torch set on ebay several years ago, and within one year I had leakage at the base of the torch due to failure of a gasket, which was scary -
I got a small fire down by my gloved hands!
I took the set into my local welding shop and they replaced all the gaskets with American gaskets. The man said that the offshore gaskets are poor quality and prone to fail and leak gas.
In light of that experience I am in total agreement now with Paul. The only HF stuff I have are tools that are not dangerous if they break.
