I just got the 60a long drag tips and the 40a gouging tips. How are they holding up for you?

The 60A long nozzle w drag shield is awesome, I love it. Its the only tip I use on my hand torch now. I get hundreds of pierces with them, my max has probably been 300 pierces, and that is with an estimated 200 meters of cut length total on a tip. By comparison, I get upwards of 600 pierces with the 40A and 60A short nozzles (cutting not gouging) with machine torch shield on my plasma table. The difference in durability I suspect is due to the fact that I cut all sorts of rough, painted, rusted, odd shaped stuff with my hand torch, include a fair amount of expanded steel. So the long nozzle w drag shield is abused quite a bit in my case, where as the short nozzles with a machine shield on my plasma table only cuts virgin HR or CR sheet metal 16 ga to 0.25". The gouge tips I really don't use much, I got them from PW for testing, but in the few cases I've had to actually blow out a fillet weld to salvage some metal, they did great. I have yet to wear one out. I also discovered a way to improve on the durability and quality of the shield nozzles for the IPT60 and PTM60.

Also, the key to plasma cutting is using dry air.

I hope that helps.

@@blouchipconsulting3377 Thanks for the info. I'll check it all out. Good to hear about your experience. You must have very dry air to get that kind of consumable life.
