OVERVIEW

Get a Grip on Your Cutting

Is your trusty ST-21 torch starting to feel a bit loose or uncomfortable? A cracked or worn handle isn't just an annoyance; it's a safety hazard and a recipe for bad cuts. The ESAB 996268 Pistol Grip Assembly is the exact replacement you need to bring your torch back to life. Designed to fit your ST-21 perfectly, this grip restores that solid, locked-in feel you had when the torch was brand new. Don't struggle with a slippery or taped-up handle when a factory-fresh replacement is ready to go.

Comfort for the Long Haul

We know that cutting steel all day takes a toll on your hands. That's why the pistol grip design is so popular—it puts your hand in a natural position, taking the pressure off your wrist. This replacement grip features a rugged, textured surface that bites into your glove just enough to give you total control without causing hot spots. Whether you are slicing through I-beams or doing detail work, having a comfortable, secure grip means you can focus on the puddle and the line, not on trying to keep the torch from slipping.

Built Tough for Real Work

Plastic parts in a welding shop usually don't last long, but this isn't cheap plastic. It's a high-impact composite built to take a beating. Drop it, drag it, get it hot—this grip can handle the abuse of a real job site. It shields your hand from the heat of the torch body and stands up to sparks and spatter. It’s a small investment that makes a huge difference in your daily grind. Swap it out in minutes and get back to burning metal with confidence.

Why Choose Genuine ESAB?

Sure, you might find generic parts out there, but do they really fit? With this genuine ESAB assembly, you don't have to worry about gaps, rattles, or loose screws. It fits your ST-21 like a glove, ensuring your trigger and valves stay exactly where they should be. Keep your gear professional and your cuts clean with the right parts for the job.
