Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Twister™ different from a spring-style electrode holder?
The Twister™ uses a mechanical twist-lock mechanism that securely clamps the electrode, providing greater holding power and allowing you to position the rod at your preferred welding angle.
What size electrodes will it hold?
The LT-250 accepts Stick electrodes up to 3/16" (4.8 mm) in diameter.
What size welding cable does it accept?
It is designed to accommodate welding cable up to 2/0.
Can I burn the electrode down to a short stub?
Yes. The rounded head design provides better access and allows you to use more of the electrode before replacement.
Is the holder insulated?
Yes. The fully insulated body helps reduce accidental electrical shorts and improves operator safety.

Requires some custom cabling so I can't use it…
Requires some custom cabling so I can't use it until I buy 50 feet of ultraflex orange cable (was going to buy it anyway). Doesn't fit my OEM cable setup, no big deal. Hope to start burning rods with this thing in a month or two. I couldn't figure out how to get it apart, customer service was great and helped walk me through it. _____________________________________________________ Thanks for the feedback, James. We're happy to hear that we were able to walk you thru the "Twist".

The Twister is the best design for stick welding that I have found. Quick electrode replacement helps on downtime.
