Reply:Hmmm. Looks kinda like you might have a very old piece there. Does it have any markings or brand name? That stinger must take some kind of special coupler

Reply:i agree with david get a new one
Reply:I would like if instead of buying a new one just to use this one, that way this one does not just lay aroung the shop.
Reply:Take it to your LWS and have them show you.
Reply:I think that the cooltongs had a special attatchment to make a regular electrode holder into a gouging tool.Does it say 400 anywhere on it?eburgblue is right. You should be able to get cable ends and other parts, but you may have to order them.

Reply:There has to be a special cable end/coupler for it.
Reply:so i have to buy another connector to run a wire to it? That stinks.
