BER40B - Bernard 40B Shortstub Screw-Type Electrode Holder 400A

Burn More Rod, Waste Less Money

If you are tired of throwing away three inches of welding rod every time you change electrodes, the Bernard 40B Shortstub Electrode Holder is the solution you need. Unlike standard tong-style stingers that require a large gripping area, the Bernard Shortstub uses a screw-type head that grips the very end of the electrode. This allows you to burn your consumables down to the numbers, reducing waste by up to 20% and saving you money on every box of rod you open.

Superior Grip and Visibility

The screw-type mechanism doesn't just save rod; it holds it tighter than any spring clamp can. This means your rod won't wobble or slip when you are trying to strike an arc in a tight corner. Furthermore, the low-profile head design gives you a better view of the weld puddle, which is critical for high-quality pipe welding and out-of-position work. You can even bend the electrode to any angle you need to reach difficult spots, and the Shortstub will hold it secure.

Built for the Grind

We know that welding equipment takes a beating. The Bernard 40B is legendary for its durability. It handles high heat without melting down, and if you eventually wear out the head after months of heavy use, you don't have to buy a new stinger—just replace the head and keep welding. Rated for 400 Amps, this holder stays cool in your hand longer, reducing fatigue during those long shifts. Whether you are in the field or the shop, the Bernard 40B is the reliable partner you need for heavy stick welding.
