Tweco Arcair 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

Set screws were wonky. Couldn't 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. It's a cheap stinger handle. It'll get me going until I have time and money to find a proper replacement for my esab oem handle.

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.

Not real tweco not what is pictured

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