Keep Your Favorite Stinger Running Like New

If you run an ESAB EH-11A screw-type electrode holder, you know exactly why it’s a classic. The grip is rock solid, the angle is perfect for those hard-to-reach spots, and it allows you to burn rods down to the nub without wasting metal. But let's face it—the front end of your stinger takes a beating. Between the intense heat of the arc, the constant tightening and loosening, and the occasional drop on the shop floor, the cap gear is often the first thing to show signs of wear. Don't let a cracked or worn cap force you to retire your favorite holder. The ESAB 680802 Cap Gear is the exact replacement part you need to bring your EH-11A back to life.

Replacing the cap gear is a quick and easy fix that saves you the cost of buying a brand-new holder. This isn't a cheap knock-off; it's the genuine article from ESAB, made with the same durable, high-heat material as the original. It screws right on, restoring the insulation and protection you need to weld safely. A fresh cap ensures your rod stays locked in tight, giving you the electrical contact required for smooth, buttery beads. It also protects the internal threads and metal head from spatter buildup, which can ruin the mechanism over time.

Whether you are working in a shipyard, on a pipeline, or in a fab shop, your tools are your livelihood. Keeping them in top shape shows you take pride in your craft. Keep a spare ESAB 680802 Cap Gear in your toolbox so you are never caught off guard by a broken insulator.
