Welding Hand Tools That Get the Job Done

The Lincoln Electric Company (Cleveland, OH) introduces three new welding hand tools, a chipping hammer, welding pliers and the Welper® designed to aid welding operators, regardless of environment or process.

A new chipping hammer makes it easy to clean and remove slag from any weld. The hammer head includes both flat and spiked sides. Its shock-reducing spiral handle includes a hook, making it easy to store on any wall.

Constructed from drop-forged steel, the new welding pliers is a single tool designed for six functions, including nozzle and tip installation, wire cutting, nozzle cleaning, spatter removal and slag hammer. The welding pliers comes with a form-fitting handle.

The third welding hand tool, the Welper, is designed specifically for use with MIG welding guns and offers eight functions in a single pair of pliers. Perfect for any MIG welder, the Welper can be used to remove spatter from the nozzle inside and out, cut wire, remove and install tips, pull wire, remove brushings, and even hammer, when necessary.

Lincoln Electric is a world leader in the design, development and manufacture of arc welding products, robotic arc welding systems, plasma and oxy-fuel cutting equipment and has a leading global position in the brazing and soldering alloys market.

The company has 48 manufacturing locations, including operations and joint ventures in 19 countries and a worldwide network of distributors and sales offices covering more than 160 countries.
