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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great workmanship but this mod could be better in my opinion

Works great if you are bare handed but no one TIG welding without gloves. With gloves on, it's difficult to get traction on an O-ring wheel to advance the stem 100% of the time because the wheel is so small. I pushed the pin out of the wheel and made a bigger feed ring on my lathe and it works a lot better. You can see the size difference in the attached image. I didn't have to enlarge the slot that the wheel fits in as it fit perfectly in the large slot without having to open it up on the milling machine. Can't understand why they didn't use a bigger wheel, it works so much better.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
