8-4024 - Tweco 8-4024 Cable Retaining Collar for MIG Guns

Fix Your Gun and Get Back to the Arc

There is nothing more frustrating than a MIG gun that feels loose or sloppy in your hand. If the connection between your cable and handle is starting to wobble, or if you are rebuilding a torch after a cable repair, you need the Tweco 8-4024 Collar. This is the specific retaining collar designed to lock your cable assembly securely into the handle of your Tweco MIG gun, ensuring everything stays tight while you are welding.

This collar is a genuine Tweco part, meaning it fits exactly right without modification. It is commonly used on the Tweco Spray Master series and other classic Tweco guns. Over time, these collars can get cracked from drops or worn out during cable changes. Replacing it is a quick fix that makes your gun feel brand new again. A solid handle connection is crucial not just for comfort, but for keeping the liner straight and the power connection stable.

Don't rely on electrical tape or makeshift fixes to hold your gun together. The 8-4024 is built to withstand the heat and abuse of the shop. Installing it is straightforward—it typically slides over the cable assembly and locks into the handle shell, providing the mechanical grip needed to pull the heavy cable around the shop without stressing the crimps inside. Keep a spare in your toolbox or locker so you aren't stuck with a broken gun in the middle of a job.

Why Welders Need This:

• Perfect Fit: No fighting with parts that don't line up; it snaps right into place.
• Solid Feel: Eliminates handle wobble for better torch control.
• Durable: Tough material that handles drops and drags.
