11401344 - Tweco WeldSkill 14-45 Contact Tip (0.045") - 25 Pack

Keep Your Arc Smooth and Steady

Every welder knows that the contact tip is the unsung hero of the MIG gun. It takes the heat, handles the current, and guides the wire right into the puddle. When your tip starts to wear out—keyholing at the exit or clogging with spatter—your arc starts to wander, and your welds suffer. The Tweco WeldSkill 14-45 Contact Tip is the standard replacement for 0.045-inch wire setups, designed to get you back to laying smooth beads with minimal hassle. These are the classic 14-series tips you know and trust, featuring the standard 1.5-inch length and copper construction that conducts heat and electricity efficiently.

This pack of 25 is essential for any serious shop or mobile rig. Running out of tips in the middle of a job is a frustration no one needs. With a fresh box of 14-45s in your cabinet, you can swap out a worn tip the moment you feel the wire start to drag or the arc start to stutter. The copper alloy is tough enough to handle long beads but soft enough to ensure excellent electrical transfer to the wire, which is crucial for maintaining a crisp, sizzling arc characteristic. They thread easily into your gas diffuser, locking down tight so you don't have to worry about them vibrating loose during heavy use.

These tips are built for the real world. They fit the most common MIG guns in the industry, including the legendary Tweco Classic series and the modern WeldSkill guns. Whether you are pushing mild steel wire for structural work or running flux-cored wire that requires a durable contact point, these tips deliver. The 0.045-inch size is a workhorse gauge for medium-to-heavy fabrication, and having a bulk pack ensures you are ready for long shifts under the hood. Don't let a $2 part ruin a critical weld; keep your front-end consumables fresh with genuine Tweco WeldSkill tips.

Installation is quick: just unscrew the nozzle, remove the old tip, and thread this one in. The precision machining means you won't be fighting to feed the wire through a burred hole. It's simple, reliable, and exactly what you need to keep the sparks flying and the metal fusing.
