Heavy Duty Welding Stinger Electrode Holder - 600A Welding Rod Holder for Stick Welding

Works great, good quality!

I bought these to replace the ones that came with the inexpensive DekoPro stick welder. The cables feel more sturdy and of higher quality. In terms of "getting the job done" performance, I have not really noticed a significant difference. They do the job well, and they feel more substantial. The clamp is stiffer than the original one and feels like it will maintain the circuit better and the electrode holder just has a better feel when you hold it. I'm, at best, a DIY hobbyist welder, so I'm unqualified to tell you if these would impress a professional, but I can say I like them better than the stock ones, and I'm happy I bought them. They were a nice upgrade and just may convince me to do more welding projects around the house.

I purchased the Simder mini stick welder so that I could teach my teenage daughter the fundamentals of stick welding without the intimidation of industrial sized equipment. I purchased the cute little mini welder, which is about the size of a toddler lunchbox, and an extra auto darkening helmet. My main goal in this purchase was to find something that would let me teach her to start and hold an arc, proper angle and travel speed, and be able to do it on 110v, on the patio, with a regular extension cord. So we opened the box, set up, and within 4 hours she was running crooked but solid weld beads without ever touching a welder before. I would say that $60 welder was well worth the cost. I am getting ready to make a YouTube video with a bunch of sub $200 welding machines, and will definitely include this little guy!!Now, let’s talk about the big con. The electrode holder is short, brittle, & cheap. Ground is short but works. I knew they would be. Ordered the $39 Simder leads separately. These are much better leads and electrode holder. Way better. If you have some DINSE 10-25’s they will fit.The machine arcs & welds fine. The electrode holder sucks, but I still give the machine itself 5 stars because of the value for the money, and because you can actually weld with it. Heads up- I did try the electrode holder, my daughter wanted to use it because it was cute and tiny, but it would not hold the rods firmly and actually broke after several beads. I ordered these better leads, and they work great, conduct well, hold the electrode firmly, and they are long. These work fine.

The cable says 25mm2, but it has a smaller conductor sectional area than all the 16mm2 cable. It also has a significantly smaller over all (including insulator) diameter. That wouldn't be possible if it were actually 25mm2.I have to say conductor and not copper because it is also cca, copper coated aluminum for those that don't know the abbreviation.I'm not surprised to see cca being sold as copper, but the sectional area lies printed on the wire blew me away.This was a good price of it were legit, but it isn't.

Like the heavy duty stinger and the ground clamp is better than what I had . The length is great and I don't have to move my welding box to finish a job. I did have to remove terminals because it did not fit into female end on welder.

bought a cheap stick welder to keep in my ATV side by side while working but it came with really short Leeds. these are 9 feet long so i can work on whatever breaks without having to unpack my stick welder and move it around i actually can start a bead better then using the shorter leeds

Worked as it should good length leads

These are welding wires. You get a ground wire and one that holds electrodes. For stick welding. These are 25mm which is about 4awg. My current are 16mm or about 6awg. The ends are different so will have to use the old ends or get some to match but these are still an upgrade. They’re ten feet each same length as my current wires. Good find.
