Need robust stick electrode holder. Is Tweco worth getting?

admin

I need a new holder for my stick welder. I have a 200 amp Lincoln holder that is falling apart. I'd like to get a 250 amp one. Are the Tweco brand holders good or is there a more robust brand out there that won't fall apart so fast from heavy duty use and abuse?Thanks.

Reply:Here's a picture of the Jackson we are using. It seems to be holding up fine and holds 3/32 well.http://www.bettymills.com/shop/produ...8-3001793.htmlPersonal preference would decide for me. 200 amp ones are a nice size for me. I hate the big ones. Here's the tweco.http://www.bettymills.com/shop/produ...referer=search
Reply:These look interesting. Found out about them on the Rig Welder Forum.Stupid of them not to have a standard website, but there is enough info not to require a Fecesbook account:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Stinge...08753762510578
