Lincoln Electric introduces three new welding hand tools‏

@LincolnElectric • CLEVELAND, OH – Lincoln Electric 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.
