Welding aluminum presents unique challenges, primarily related to wire feeding. Soft aluminum wire is prone to bird-nesting and erratic feeding when pushed through standard long cables. The Lincoln Electric Cougar™ Push-Pull Gun (K2704-2) is the professional solution to these frustrations. Designed for fabricators who demand reliability and comfort, this 25-foot air-cooled gun delivers a steady, powerful feed of aluminum wire, ensuring smooth arcs and high-quality welds every time.
If you are welding for hours on end, comfort isn't just a luxury—it's a necessity. The Cougar™ features a classic pistol-grip design that many operators prefer for its upright ergonomics. This "Sure-Grip™" handle fits naturally in your hand, reducing the wrist strain often associated with maneuvering standard inline torches around complex joints. Whether you are building boat hulls, aluminum trailers, or precision automotive parts, the balanced weight distribution helps you maintain a steady hand and focus on the puddle, not the fatigue.
Stop walking back and forth to your wire feeder to make minor adjustments. The Cougar™ puts control right where you need it. A refined, multi-turn potentiometer is built directly into the handle, allowing you to fine-tune your wire feed speed on the fly. This feature is invaluable when moving between different joint configurations or positions where slight parameter changes make the difference between a perfect bead and a rework.
Lincoln Electric has engineered the Cougar™ to withstand the daily grind of industrial environments. The recessed trigger design prevents accidental breakage if the gun is dropped or bumped. The heavy-duty cable cover resists abrasion from concrete floors and sharp metal edges. Inside, the improved strain relief system protects the critical control wiring from snapping during movement. Combined with Lincoln's long-lasting Copper Plus™ contact tips and the leak-proof Posi-Seat™ barrel nut, this gun is built to keep you welding longer with fewer interruptions.
