OVERVIEW

Freedom to Weld Anywhere

Stop being tied down by your foot pedal. The ESAB Hand Switch 2P/2W Midget 25' gives you the freedom to take your TIG game to new heights—literally. Whether you are climbing a scaffold, crawling under a chassis, or just tired of kicking a pedal around the shop floor, this hand control puts the power to start your arc right at your fingertips. It is the ultimate upgrade for welders who need mobility and versatility in their setup.

This isn't just a button; it's a lifeline for out-of-position work. The switch comes with a heavy-duty 25-foot cord, giving you plenty of slack to work around large pipes or frames without dragging the machine with you. The connector is a classic 2-Pole / 2-Wire Midget plug, designed to fit specific ESAB power sources that utilize this configuration for remote contactor engagement. It’s built tough to handle the heat, dirt, and rough handling of a real welding shop.

Attaching easily to your torch handle, the switch allows for instant arc initiation with a simple press. It is perfect for tacking up assemblies where you are constantly moving, or for laying long beads in positions where your feet can't stay planted. Ditch the pedal when the job gets tough and rely on the positive, tactile response of this genuine ESAB hand control.

Hand switches are essential for welding while standing, working on ladders, or operating in tight spaces where using a foot pedal is physically impossible or unsafe.

Welding contactor switches are typically momentary, meaning the arc stays on only while the button is pressed (or latched via the machine's 2T/4T settings).
