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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Maybe good for beginners.

I have been welding TIG for almost 20 years, some colleagues were saying about this product and how it would be a great product to reduce welding wire waste. So I decided to give it a try, I serve the filler with my thumb so using my finger was weird. But by saving expenses, I actually spend more with this tool. So yes happens. But if you are an experienced welder this is not for you. Maybe this is a tool for beginners. The wheel that supplies the filler is difficult to operate with gloves on. When I used it I thought the o-rings on the feed wheel had gone bad how would you replace them. You are on a wheel that has a pre-pin attached. So if they fail, you're missing out on $30. So, in general, this article can be used by a beginner to help him with litter feeding, and not an experienced person. So I'm not happy with that.

Pros
  • High test results for grip and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as others
