OVERVIEW

The Legend Returns

If you have been in the welding game for a while, you know the Tweco No. 5. It is the gun that doesn't quit. This isn't some flimsy torch that melts in your hand after a few beads; this is the 500-Amp beast designed for serious fabrication. When you are running hot and heavy, laying down 1/16" wire on thick plate, you need a gun that can take the heat. The Tweco Classic No. 5 is built to handle high-amperage MIG welding all day long without needing a water cooler setup. It gives you the freedom of an air-cooled system with the power capacity usually reserved for liquid-cooled torches.

Built for the Shop Floor

The 15-foot cable on this model (1050-1113) gives you plenty of room to move around your workpiece without dragging the feeder with you. The cable itself is tough—really tough. It resists kinks and stands up to being stepped on, dragged over steel edges, and exposed to sparks. The handle feels right in your hand; it’s the classic shape that welders have trusted for generations because it offers good grip and balance, reducing fatigue during those long welds. The trigger action is crisp and reliable, giving you precise control over your arc starts and stops.

Ready to Weld

This gun comes ready to rock right out of the box. It is set up for 1/16" wire, so if you are welding heavy structural steel, farm implements, or heavy machinery, you can plug it in and go. Changing consumables is a breeze—Tweco tips, nozzles, and diffusers are available everywhere and swap out in seconds. Whether you are replacing an old faithful or upgrading your rig for heavier work, the Tweco No. 5 is the reliable partner you want in your hand when the hood goes down. It’s simple, it’s rugged, and it gets the job done.
