OVERVIEW

Reliable 180 Amp Air-Cooled MIG Gun

The Tweco Classic No. 1 MIG Gun (Part Number 1010-1133) is a staple in the welding industry, renowned for its durability and straightforward design. Rated at 180 Amps at a 60% duty cycle with CO2 gas, this air-cooled gun is engineered for light to medium-duty fabrication tasks. This specific configuration features a 12-foot cable assembly and a Miller-style rear connection, making it an immediate replacement or upgrade for compatible Miller wire feeders and welding machines.

Industry-Standard Consumables

One of the primary advantages of the Tweco Classic series is its use of widely available consumables. The Classic No. 1 utilizes the 11 Series contact tips and 21 Series nozzles (often referred to as 21-50 or 21-62 depending on the bore). This compatibility ensures that operators can easily find replacement parts in almost any welding supply shop, minimizing downtime. The gun also features a 35 Series gas diffuser and accommodates standard steel liners, which are easily replaceable to maintain optimal wire feeding performance.

Durable Construction & Ergonomics

Built to withstand the rigors of the shop floor, the Tweco Classic No. 1 features a heavy-duty cable that resists cuts, burns, and abrasion. The handle is designed with the operator in mind, offering an ergonomic grip that reduces hand fatigue during extended welding sessions. The trigger mechanism is robust and responsive, providing reliable arc initiation every time. The metal-jacketed conductor tube adds rigidity and durability to the front end, ensuring the gun holds up to heat and impact.

Versatile Applications

With its 180 Amp rating, this gun is perfectly suited for a variety of applications, including automotive body work, farm and ranch repairs, light structural fabrication, and hobbyist projects. The 12-foot length offers adequate reach for working around vehicles or large workbenches without the cable becoming unmanageable. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum (with the appropriate liner change), the Tweco Classic No. 1 delivers consistent wire delivery and arc stability.
