A-316 250 Amp Electrode Holder

Definitely well built but a wish I bought the knock off brand at my local air n gas supply. Tweco is a big name quality product but I think they cut corners by not including a hex key or a copper cable wrap. The just as good knock off does

This is great. The clamp handle works with thick welding gloves and has a fantastic grip strength and options.

This is a great stinger for combo or uphill welders in general. I used it a lot for distribution and combo plant work. In my opinion, it’s not suitable for pipeline work. But still very useful.

Set screws were wonky. Couldnt find an Allen wrench that would fit ( metric or standard) from 2 different full sets of wrenches. Whoever machined these must have been on their first day and narrowly passed quality control. I got some set screws from a local hardware store that fit and I was able to swap them out quickly. For the price point, not surprised I had to mess around with it. Its a cheap stinger handle. Itll get me going until I have time and money to find a proper replacement for my esab oem handle.

Not only is this the top of the line stinger. The shipping was super fast even with the holidays in the mix.

Use it everyday, worth the money!

Great stinger, like the way it feels in the hand, also the jaws are made better than other stingers

Only have a small welder and this holds smaller electrodes fine

Much better than the 200 amp tweco electrode holder. This actually fits my hand under the lever. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it did not come with extra insulators. Otherwise, great electrode holder.

One of the best holders Ive owned and Ive had some cheap ones. The replacement shield and screw is a plus as thats what wears out first.
