OVERVIEW

Restore Comfort and Safety to Your ST-21 MIG Gun

If you are running an ESAB ST-21 Series 2 water-cooled MIG gun, you know it's a workhorse designed for high-amperage welding. However, even the toughest tools take a beating in the shop. Drops, heavy impacts, or years of heat exposure can crack or damage the gun handle, making it uncomfortable to hold and potentially unsafe. The ESAB 995949 Replacement Handle is the exact part you need to bring your trusty ST-21 back to life. Don't wrap it in electrical tape or struggle with a loose grip—swap it out for a brand-new, genuine ESAB handle.

This handle isn't just a piece of plastic; it's the shell that protects the vital veins of your welding setup—the water and gas lines. A cracked handle can lead to pinched hoses or exposed connections. By installing this replacement, you ensure that your internal components are shielded from the sparks and grime of the shop floor. The ergonomic design features the classic ST-21 contour you are used to, providing a secure, non-slip grip that reduces hand fatigue during long weld cycles.

Installation is straightforward, designed to fit perfectly around the Series 2 internal assembly. It aligns correctly with your trigger and cable strain relief, so you won't be fighting to get the screws tight. Whether you are maintaining a fleet of guns in a manufacturing plant or keeping your personal rig in top shape, this replacement handle is a cost-effective way to maintain the performance and safety of your water-cooled equipment.

FAQ

No, this handle (995949) is specifically designed for the ST-21 Series 2. Series 1 and Series 2 guns often have different internal geometries and mounting points.

Typically, this part number refers to the handle shell (housing) itself. The trigger switch assembly and other internal components are usually sold separately or reused from the existing gun.

It is manufactured from a high-impact, heat-resistant industrial composite plastic designed to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses of welding.

A cracked handle can compromise the structural integrity of the gun, potentially exposing live electrical parts or pinching internal water/gas hoses, leading to leaks or safety hazards.

The ST-21 is a water-cooled MIG gun, and this handle is designed to accommodate the water lines and power cable associated with that torch.

Installation generally involves removing the screws holding the old handle halves together, carefully separating them, positioning the internal cable assembly into the new handle halves, and securing them with the provided or existing hardware.

OEM handle kits often include the necessary screws for assembly, but it is always good practice to retain your original hardware just in case.
