K2596-2 - Lincoln Electric Polycarbonate Replacement Housing for K857 Remote

Rugged Protection for Your Welding Remotes

Accidents happen on the job site. A dropped remote control shouldn't mean the end of your workday or a massive expense for a brand-new unit. The Lincoln Electric K2596-2 Replacement Case Kit is the smart welder's solution to damaged equipment. Designed as a direct replacement for the housing of Lincoln remote controls (such as the K857), this kit allows you to transplant your working electronics into a brand-new, heavy-duty shell, getting you back to welding with minimal downtime.

Built from industrial-strength polycarbonate, the K2596-2 is engineered to withstand the brutal reality of welding environments. Polycarbonate is renowned for its high impact resistance, meaning this case can take a beating that would crack lesser materials. It also offers excellent thermal stability, resisting deformation near hot work areas. This ensures that your remote control continues to function smoothly, with buttons and dials fitting perfectly within the precision-molded housing.

Why replace the entire remote when only the outside is damaged? The K2596-2 is a fraction of the cost of a new K857 remote, making it an incredibly economical choice for independent welders and large fabrication shops alike. The installation process is straightforward, requiring you to simply open the damaged unit, transfer the internal potentiometer and wiring assembly, and secure the new case halves. The result is a remote that looks and feels brand new, ready for another round of heavy use.

Welders Supply is proud to offer genuine Lincoln Electric parts that support the longevity of your tools. This replacement case kit is not just a cosmetic fix; it is a structural repair that safeguards the precise control mechanisms you rely on for quality welds. Don't tape up a broken remote and risk failure—fix it right with the K2596-2 Polycarbonate Replacement Case Kit.
