0701380433 - ESAB Econ 405 Stick Welding Stinger 400A

Heavy-Duty ESAB Electrode Holder

The ESAB Econ 405 Electrode Holder is engineered for heavy-duty stick welding applications, offering a 400 Amp capacity that suits a broad spectrum of industrial requirements. When it comes to manual arc welding, the connection between the power source and the electrode is vital. The Econ 405 ensures this connection is secure, efficient, and safe, providing the welder with the confidence needed to execute precise welds.

Constructed with high-quality materials, this holder is built to resist the heat and spatter common in welding environments. The jaw mechanism is designed to hold electrodes tightly at various angles, allowing for flexibility in positional welding. A loose electrode can cause arcing inside the holder, leading to overheating and premature failure; the Econ 405's strong gripping power mitigates this risk, ensuring that the current is directed exactly where it is needed—at the arc.

Key Features:

• High Amperage Rating: Capable of handling up to 400 Amps, suitable for burning larger diameter electrodes.
• Insulated Design: Protects the operator and prevents short circuits against the workpiece.
• Durability: Rugged exterior resists impact and heat damage.
• Comfort: Balanced weight and handle shape reduce operator strain during long shifts.

Replacing your electrode holder with a quality unit like the ESAB Econ 405 can significantly improve your welding experience. Poorly maintained or inferior holders can get uncomfortably hot and cause voltage drops that affect arc stability. By upgrading to the Econ 405, you ensure consistent electrical conductivity and thermal management. This holder is an excellent choice for professionals in construction, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment repair who demand reliability from their tools.
