Designed as a direct replacement for your ESAB wire feeder, this thumb screw is essential for those moments when you need to change wire sizes or replace worn drive rolls on the fly.

It handles the vibration of the motor and the tension of the wire without backing out. Whether you are working in a heavy fabrication shop or a garage, having the right parts for your machine makes all the difference in maintaining a professional workflow.
