Duty rating (light, medium, heavy duty) determines the robustness and intended use of a cutting torch handle. Light-duty handles are ideal for occasional or small-scale work, while medium-duty models offer versatility for regular shop or field jobs. Heavy-duty handles are built for industrial, high-capacity tasks, supporting larger tips and longer operating times. Choosing the right duty rating ensures safety, efficiency, and long product life. For example, the Harris 43-2 and VH31 V-Series are heavy-duty options for demanding jobs, while the QC1906AP suits medium-duty needs. With several options across duty ratings, users can select a handle tailored to their workload.
