Every welder knows the frustration of a contact tip that overheats, burns back, or fuses to the diffuser right in the middle of a long pass. The Lincoln Electric KP2745-116 Magnum PRO contact tip is designed to solve exactly these problems. Built for 1/16-inch wire and rated for heavy-duty 550A work, these tips are the workhorses of the Lincoln consumable line. The secret lies in the Copper Plus® design. These tips are physically thicker than your average generic tip, packing more copper into the body. That extra metal isn't just for show—it pulls heat away from the wire much faster, keeping the tip cooler even when you are pushing high amps for extended periods.
No More Stuck Tips
One of the biggest headaches in MIG welding is trying to change a tip that has welded itself to the gun. Lincoln's Anti-Seize™ thread technology changes the game. The threads are specially shaped to expand with heat without locking up. This means when it's time to swap out a tip, it spins off easily, saving you from wrestling with pliers and potentially stripping your diffuser. Less time fighting your equipment means more time burning wire and getting the job done.
Built for the Long Haul
When you are running 1/16" wire, you are likely doing heavy fabrication, structural work, or manufacturing. You need consumables that can keep up. Because the KP2745-116 runs cooler, the bore doesn't wear out as quickly, maintaining a tight electrical connection for a stable, crisp arc. This 10-pack ensures you have plenty of backup, but with the extended life of Copper Plus, you'll find yourself reaching for a fresh one far less often than with standard tips. Upgrade your Magnum PRO gun with the tips designed to handle the heat.
