996104 - ESAB 0.035" MIG Contact Tips (Pack of 5)

Keep Your Arc Smooth and Stable

Every welder knows that the smallest part of the gun often causes the biggest headaches. If your contact tip is worn out, you're going to fight the arc, deal with erratic wire feeding, and spend more time grinding spatter than actually welding. The ESAB 996104 Contact Tube ST 035 is your go-to replacement tip for running 0.035-inch wire. These tips are built to handle the heat and keep the current flowing smoothly into your wire, giving you that crisp, frying-bacon sound you look for in a good MIG weld.

These tips are made from durable copper that stands up to long beads and hot starts. The 0.035-inch bore is sized perfectly—tight enough to ensure good electrical contact but loose enough to prevent the wire from dragging or snagging. They feature standard threading (likely M6) that fits many common ESAB MIG guns, making swap-outs quick and easy right at the bench. Whether you are fabricating mild steel brackets, doing auto body work, or general repairs, having a fresh tip on your gun is the first step to a quality weld.

This package comes with 5 contact tubes, so you can toss a few in your toolbox or keep them in your shop cabinet. Don't wait until your wire fuses to the tip or your arc starts wandering to look for a replacement. Swapping out your contact tip regularly is the cheapest insurance you can buy for weld quality. With ESAB's quality manufacturing, you get consistent performance from the first strike to the last inch of the bead.
