Description of Enhance Welding Precision with TOVIA Welding Electrode Holder Manual
Fully insulated head mechanically holds the stick electrode tight for easy bending & better arc control eliminating arc out problems. Firmly holds electrodes up to 5/32" (4mm) diameter in 45° or 90° positions to accommodate a variety of welding applications. Round DMC head provides increased visibility, and allows rod to be burnt to the end. Insulated rubber handle with copper core for both high conductivity and improved cable connections. The base of the handle has a rubber that surrounds the wire preventing debris and water to some extent from entering the handle.
This welding electrode holder is an outstanding tool for industrial and scientific applications. As my tests showed, it's crafted from premium quality materials making it sturdy and durable. The packaging ensures that the product is well-protected and arrived in perfect condition. The only drawback is that the price point is slightly higher than some comparable products but, in this case, you are paying for quality.
Pretty decent for the price. Works perfectly. The handle (black rubber tubing) is a bit more flexible than I prefer. The hole seems small enough to accept a 500 amp rated wire with a set screw that is either flush or recessed. The set screw must be flush or countersunk to fit the handle.
Really shouldn't complain given the price but I find the construction very shabby. I have another twist lock that is large and bulky but I wanted a smaller version like this one. The handle is made of thin rubber and the head appears to be just plastic. I'll try it out next week and see how much I like/dislike it and edit the review if I see fit.
