OVERVIEW

The Legend Continues: Tweco Classic No. 3

For decades, professional welders have sworn by the "Tweco #3" as the gold standard for air-cooled MIG guns. The Tweco Classic No. 3 (SKU 1030-1602) continues this legacy, delivering the rugged reliability and performance that you expect from the brand that practically invented the modern MIG gun. Whether you are welding structural steel, repairing heavy equipment, or working on a production line, this gun is built to withstand the heat, spatter, and abuse of the industrial environment.

Built for Comfort and Control
At the heart of this gun is the famous Tweco oval handle. Designed to fit naturally in a gloved hand, it offers superior ergonomics that reduce operator fatigue during long shifts. The trigger action is crisp and reliable, giving you precise control over your arc starts and stops. The 12-foot cable provides ample reach for working around large assemblies without being so long that it compromises wire feeding smoothness. It is the perfect length for bench work and medium-sized fabrication cells.

Euro Connection Convenience
One of the biggest advantages of this specific model is its Euro-style connection. If your welding machine features a Euro receptacle—common on many Esab, Miller, Lincoln, and imported machines—this gun plugs directly in. No more fumbling with adapters or worrying about gas leaks from poor connections. The Euro pin creates a solid, unified connection for welding current, shielding gas, and trigger control signals in one simple twist.

Easy Maintenance
Time is money, and the Tweco Classic No. 3 is designed to keep you welding, not troubleshooting. It uses the most common consumables on the planet: Tweco 14 series tips and 24 series nozzles. You can find these parts in almost any welding supply shop. Furthermore, the entire gun is fully serviceable. From the trigger switch to the gooseneck and the liner, every component can be replaced, extending the life of your investment for years to come. When you pick up a Tweco Classic, you aren't just grabbing a tool; you're grabbing a piece of welding history that is ready to work as hard as you do.
