Reboot Welding Electrode Holder 300AMP Copper Heavy Duty Jaw Holding Plier Electrode Clamp of Welding Machine ARC Welder American Design

This welding handle is a bit different. you twist the head to loosen and tighten the rods. There is no spring to wear out, and this is more solid than the spring type, so it holds the rods better. It is a bit harder to get used to if you have used the spring clip type, but it works better. it arrived timely, and the price was not too high. I'm very satisfied with it.

I bought the 300 amp a year ago. I tend to burn the rods down to 1/2 inch long and have burnt out a couple of the 300 amp stingers. This 500 amp is heavier duty, heavy spring, a little harder to squeeze. I does clamp much better. NO slop in the clamp of the two jaws. Should hold the rod much tighter.

Great design except for multi directional rod placement, built for high Temp work custom line size and length.

Works great for me

It's a great twist style stinger for its price but definitely not durable, when in use for industrial environments. I use 3/16 rod and above and I did notice that the insulation is prone to cracking after long use. I did use it non stop for 3 days, 10 hours each and it break and stop holding the rod, I can see that it would be great to buy if your a hobbist welder or interested this particular style as it's cheap. I would definitely invest in a more quality product some where else if using a industrial setting or consistent use.

Using the original cables, I upgraded to this stinger and the results were a fantastic improvement over the factory supplied one. Since then I've also upgraded the cables and the results are pure heaven! It's got a heavy jaw (which I like) that grips the electrode strong enough that you can bend it an which way you want. Generally, you don't have to as it's got all the cutouts for any direction you would commonly use. For the price, it can't be beat and the customer service is an absolute 10 out of 10 in my book. Both responsive to any issue and fast to respond. Really can't ask for anything more IMHO...

got it and figured why not try it, we replace ours every 6 months. the last one of these we bought held up for about a year before the plastic broke. we also weld in ceiling and put our equipment to use, so trust me there good and the thing was tight till its death.
