Over time, the harsh environment of industrial welding—characterized by intense heat, spatter, and inevitable drops—can take a toll on your equipment. The handle of your MIG gun is the primary interface between the welder and the arc; if it is cracked, loose, or damaged, it not only affects comfort but can also compromise safety and precision.

This genuine OEM replacement assembly is designed specifically for the ESAB (formerly L-Tec) ST-23 series torches.

It restores the ergonomic profile of the torch, ensuring that the welder maintains a steady grip without unnecessary hand strain. A secure handle is critical for maintaining the correct torch angle and travel speed, directly influencing weld quality.

Constructed from durable, high-impact polymers, the 636871 handle assembly is built to withstand the rigors of the shop floor. It provides essential electrical insulation, protecting the operator from potential shocks caused by internal cable wear or loose connections. By replacing a damaged handle promptly, you extend the service life of your entire MIG gun assembly and avoid more costly repairs down the line. This kit typically includes the mating handle shells and necessary hardware, making the swap a quick and straightforward maintenance task.
