St. Louis, MO (November 7, 2006) - Victor Equipment Company, the world leader in gas apparatus and pressure control products, has introduced its new Cutskill 250 series for cutting and welding, that has been designed specifically for light to medium duty applications and the frequent user. Built to Victor specifications and quality control, this quality product delivers the safety and reliability that this premium brand is known for, and also features a comprehensive two-year warranty.

Earlier this year, Victor launched a new three-tier brand strategy and product line blend. Branded as Victor Professional, Victor CutSkill and Victor Firepower, each tier carries a specific apparatus and set of components designed to meet the exact performance specifications, applications, warranty support and price range of the end user. The Victor Cutskill 250 series has been engineered to provide safety, performance and durability, for value oriented users who want high quality products.

SAFETY - Understanding that user safety is of utmost importance, Victor Cutskill has the critical, patented safety features built in to the torch handles that come in all of Victor's outfits. Victor torch handles are available with VanGuard safety features such as built-in flashback arrestors and built-in reverse flow check valves. VanGuard torch handles also feature Victor traditional threaded assemblies for quick economical repair if service is necessary.
