Electrode holders

not insulated have to be careful for stray arcs , and look out if your gloves are damp

The version I use has more insulation and is spot on for industrial work.

I use the stinger Vs crock style and twist style I prefer any they all have pros all have cons the only probs I have with my v is when the insulation wares and you are In a tight spot it will arc out it it finds the right spot

I like the crocodile spring ones for speed and angle options (without bending) however good ones are getting hard to obtain as more and more folks are raised on these plastic screw clamp types .

Coz you just get the angle in your head . Next to in is the same , unlike a modern type reliant on Bending

Yes but I think that a twist lock ,is better when you have to use different sizes of electrode
1,6mm to 6mm as example
But I generally work whit 2,5 and 3,25mm so I use the crocodile spring ones

Evening all. Just thought I would let you no I brought one of the esab handy 300's but was waiting for my old handle to give up on me which it did last week. I fitted the new handle and have been using for the last three days welding up more narrowboats.
My opinion:
Good solid and robust feel to it.
Rubberised handle makes it grippy and comfortable to hold. I alsoalso it handy having the two stick positions to use compared to my old holder. Time will tell how it stands up to rough use but so far I am pleased.
