Review on Tig-Pen PW1550: The Ultimate Welding Finger Feeder Rod Holder Pencil Filler Metal Tool by Doug Hinrichsen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Only used a few times but I like it so far. Faster workout that removes this movement.

Okay, you don't use TIG every day, so you're really not that good, are you? You're REALLY clean and still sucking? Practice, concentration and coordination are all it takes. Easy to learn, right? NO. If you learn how to feed the filler wire smoothly while maintaining precise indentation spacing, and make strokes with strokes with strokes in perfect rhythm (if you set it right ;-) Of course you have to learn it and you will learn it. Yes, all experienced TIG welders will laugh at your thumb with a TIG pen. Make them laugh because you'll learn faster by eliminating an awkward movement from the learning process without stopping to re-grasp your filler wire. Now if only I could do without dipping my tungsten ;-)

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Obsolete
