OVERVIEW

Upgrade Your Fabricator or Rebel with the Tweco 160 Amp Spool Gun

Maximize the potential of your welding machine with the Tweco SG160TA-12 Spool Gun, a high-performance 160-amp unit designed for seamless integration with the Fabricator 181i, Fabricator 211i, and ESAB Rebel 215ic systems. This spool gun is an essential tool for any welder looking to tackle aluminum projects with ease and precision. Unlike standard MIG guns that push wire from the machine, this spool gun pulls wire from a canister mounted directly on the torch, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted feeding of soft aluminum alloys.

The SG160TA-12 is engineered for productivity and safety. Its 12-foot (4-meter) lead gives you the freedom to move around large workpieces and approach welds from the most convenient angles. The gun itself is lightweight and balanced, reducing wrist strain and hand fatigue—a critical factor in maintaining weld quality and preventing workplace injuries. The robust construction features a protective outer sleeve that shields the internal connections from sparks, abrasion, and shop grime, extending the lifespan of the equipment.

Versatility is key with this Tweco model. While it excels at aluminum welding using 1 lb spools, it is equally capable of running 2 lb spools of mild steel, stainless steel, and silicon bronze wire. The package includes everything you need to get started: a rugged carrying case, operation manual, and a set of consumables including 11 Series contact tips and 21-50F nozzles. With its direct connection capability, setup is instantaneous—simply plug it into the front of your compatible machine, switch to Spool Gun mode, and you are ready to weld.
