The Tweco Classic No. 1 MIG Gun (1010-1149) represents the evolution of one of the welding industry's most trusted tools. Designed for light to medium fabrication, this air-cooled gun is rated at 180 Amps at 60% duty cycle, making it an ideal choice for automotive repair, sheet metal fabrication, and general maintenance applications. This specific model features a 15-foot cable and a Euro-Kwik (Euro) back-end connection, allowing it to interface seamlessly with a vast array of power sources that utilize the European standard receptacle, including machines from ESAB, Miller, Lincoln (with adapters), and many import brands.
While the exterior retains the beloved ergonomics of the Classic series, the front end has been engineered with Tweco's high-performance Velocity™ consumables. Unlike traditional consumables that rely on multiple threaded connections, the Velocity system utilizes a threadless "drop-in" contact tip and a simplified nozzle design. This innovation creates a solid copper conductor path that significantly improves electrical conductivity and heat dissipation. The result is a cooler-running gun, a more stable arc, and contact tips that last significantly longer than conventional designs. The gas porting is also optimized to ensure superior shielding gas coverage, reducing porosity and rework.
The Classic No. 1 handle is renowned for its balance and comfort, reducing operator fatigue during extended welding sessions. The 15-foot cable assembly is constructed with high-quality copper stranding and a durable outer jacket that resists cuts, abrasion, and burns. Heavy-duty strain reliefs at both the handle and the machine connection point protect the internal cabling from kinking and breakage, ensuring a long service life in demanding shop environments. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum (with the appropriate liner), this gun delivers consistent wire feeding and arc performance.
