18 days shipping to Ireland. item was packaged very well. box intact no signs of damage externally. The package was secure and neat. item as described, feels to be very good quality. one of the cable ties holding the switch to the handle had snapped which is not a big deal as it's just a cable tie, easily replaced, but since my machine has no external controls, I was going to remove the switch anyway! The TIG torch is constructed very well, feels nice to hold and feels well balanced in the hand. cables are flexible and don't kink or bind at all.
