Product Knowledge
What is it?
Electrode holders (also called stinger or electrode clamp) are hand-held devices used to grip and conduct current to a consumable welding electrode during Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW/Stick welding).
Applications & Usage
Essential for SMAW/Stick welding in construction, shipbuilding, pipeline, and maintenance applications. The operator holds the electrode holder to position and feed the electrode.
How it Works
The holder uses a spring-loaded jaw mechanism to grip the electrode securely while maintaining electrical contact. The insulated handle protects the operator from electric shock and heat.
Why it Matters
A quality electrode holder ensures stable arc, comfortable operation, and operator safety. Poor holders cause arc instability, overheating, and premature electrode drop.
