The ESAB 598738 Handle is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the legendary ST-16 MIG welding gun. In the demanding environment of industrial welding, torch handles are often subjected to drops, impacts, and extreme heat, leading to cracks or breakage over time. A compromised handle not only affects the welder's comfort but can also pose significant safety risks by exposing internal electrical connections and gas lines. This genuine OEM part allows facilities to repair rather than replace their trusted ST-16 torches, extending the service life of the equipment and maintaining operational efficiency.
Manufactured to ESAB's rigorous standards, this handle is crafted from a high-impact composite material capable of resisting the thermal and mechanical stresses typical of heavy-duty fabrication. The housing is precision-molded to fit the internal components of the ST-16 perfectly, ensuring that the trigger assembly seats correctly and the cable remains securely anchored. By using genuine ESAB parts, maintenance teams can ensure that the torch retains its original balance and handling characteristics, which are vital for precision welding tasks.
Installation of the 598738 handle is straightforward, allowing for quick turnaround times in the maintenance shop. The design incorporates the necessary mounting points and cable strain relief features that defined the original ST-16's reliability. Whether you are refurbishing older L-Tec equipment or maintaining a fleet of ESAB MIG guns, this replacement handle provides the durability and fit required to keep your production lines moving safely and effectively.
