200 Amp Tong Style Stick Welding Stinger

Get a Grip with the RAF-200 Stinger

If you are burning rod all day, you know that a heavy, clumsy stinger is the quickest way to ruin your wrist and your welds. The RAF-200 Electrode Holder is built for the welder who needs a lightweight, no-nonsense tool that just works. Rated for 200 Amps, this tong-style holder is perfect for your garage setup, farm repairs, or light shop work. It’s designed to feel balanced in your hand, so you can focus on your puddle rather than fighting the weight of your lead.

The first thing you'll notice is the grip. The spring in this bad boy is tight. When you clamp down on a 7018 or 6010 rod, it stays put. No more wobbling rods when you're trying to strike an arc in a tight spot. The jaws have multi-angle grooves, letting you snap the rod in at 45, 90, or straight out (180 degrees), giving you the versatility to weld flat, vertical, or overhead without contorting your arm. Plus, the quick-release lever makes dropping a stub and reloading a fresh rod a one-handed operation, keeping your rhythm going.

Safety is key, and the RAF-200 is fully insulated. You don't have to worry about accidental flashes if you set it down on the bench or bump a grounded part. The handle is tough and heat-resistant, keeping your hand cool even when the work gets hot. Whether you are fixing a trailer frame or practicing your beads, this stinger gives you the control and reliability you need to lay down smooth, consistent welds. It connects easily to your existing cable, so you can swap out that old, beat-up holder and get back to burning metal in minutes.

Why Choose the RAF-200?

It's all about comfort and efficiency. A lighter holder means less shake in your hand, which translates to straighter beads. The copper alloy jaws ensure you get all the power from your machine to the rod, starting arcs easier and running smoother. Don't let a loose grip ruin your work—grab the RAF-200 and weld with confidence.
