OVERVIEW

Professional Repair Tool for ST-21 Cutting Torches

Keep your cutting operations running smoothly with the ESAB Bushing Tool (Part No. 996300), an essential service tool for the ST-21 series of mechanized cutting torches. For professional welders and equipment repair specialists, having the correct tool for the job is not just a convenience—it is a necessity. The ST-21 torch is a precision instrument, and its internal bushings require specific torque and handling during rebuilds or cleaning cycles. This tool is designed to engage perfectly with the bushing, allowing you to apply the necessary force without slipping or damaging the delicate brass or copper components of the torch.

Attempting to service a torch without the proper bushing tool can lead to costly mistakes. A slipped wrench can gouge the torch head, while improper torque can cause gas flow issues or flashbacks. The ESAB 996300 is the factory-specified solution, ensuring that every rebuild returns your torch to factory specifications. It is an indispensable addition to any welder's toolbox or shop maintenance crib, specifically for those utilizing ESAB's heavy-duty mechanized cutting systems.

Welders Supply is committed to providing not just consumables, but the hard-to-find repair parts and tools that keep your shop independent and efficient. By maintaining your own equipment with genuine ESAB tools, you extend the service life of your torches and ensure consistent cut quality. This tool is simple, effective, and built to last, reflecting the quality you expect from the ESAB brand.
