The Tweco Classic No. 2 (TWE1020-1306) represents the evolution of one of the welding industry's most trusted MIG guns. Rated for 200 Amps at 60% duty cycle (using CO2), this air-cooled torch is engineered for medium-duty fabrication, automotive repair, and general manufacturing applications. This specific configuration features a 10-foot (3-meter) cable and a Euro-Kwik backend connection, making it a direct replacement for many European-style wire feeders and power sources.
A key technical enhancement in this model is the integration of Velocity™ consumables. Unlike traditional threaded tips, Velocity contact tips feature a threadless, drop-in design with a larger surface area for electrical transfer. This results in a more stable arc, cooler running temperature, and significantly longer consumable life. The gas flow path is also optimized to reduce turbulence, ensuring better shielding coverage even in drafty shop environments.
The gun retains the signature heavy-duty handle that defined the Classic series, offering high impact resistance and a comfortable grip for prolonged use. The metal-jacketed conductor tube (gooseneck) is rotatable, allowing operators to adjust the torch angle for difficult-to-reach joints. Maintenance is simplified thanks to the modular design, where triggers, necks, and cable assemblies can be serviced independently.
