0558102483 - ESAB Rebel Metal Thickness Gauge Tool CSA

Dial In Your Settings with Precision

Every great weld starts with the right settings, and the right settings depend entirely on knowing exactly what you are welding. The ESAB Rebel Thickness Gauge (CSA) is your pocket-sized partner for perfect weld setup. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a weekend warrior, guessing the gauge of your sheet metal is a recipe for disaster—leading to blowouts on thin material or cold, weak welds on thicker stock. This handy tool eliminates the guesswork instantly, allowing you to measure your material with confidence and set your machine correctly the first time.

Designed specifically to accompany the ESAB Rebel series of welders, this gauge is the key to unlocking the full potential of the "sMIG" (smart MIG) technology. When you know the exact thickness of your steel, stainless, or aluminum, you can input that data directly into your Rebel, and the machine will auto-calculate the ideal voltage and wire feed speed curve for you. However, this tool isn't just for Rebel owners; it is a universal necessity for any fabricator. The gauge features precision-cut slots that fit standard metal thicknesses, giving you an immediate answer without needing to find a set of calipers.

Built to survive the shop floor, this gauge is made from durable stainless steel. Unlike plastic gauges that can snap or melt, or printed stickers that fade away, the ESAB thickness gauge is tough and features laser-etched markings that will stay readable for years. It includes both Imperial and Metric measurements, making it perfect for any project regardless of where the steel was sourced. It also features a convenient hole so you can attach it to your keychain, welding helmet bag, or machine cart, ensuring it is always within reach when the sparks are about to fly.

Why You Need This Tool:

• Stop Guessing: Instantly verify if that scrap piece is 16 gauge or 14 gauge.
• Save Time: No more running test beads to dial in the machine; get it right from the start.
• Improve Quality: Accurate thickness input leads to better penetration and bead appearance.
• Universal Use: While branded for ESAB, it works for setting up Miller, Lincoln, or any other welder.
