When you are burning rod all day, the last thing you want is a stinger that overheats or loses its grip. The Anchor A-1M-S Electrode Holder is designed to be the workhorse of your stick welding setup. Modeled after the classic 250-amp designs that welders have trusted for decades, this holder combines durability with comfort. Whether you are repairing farm equipment, working on structural steel, or just practicing your beads in the garage, the A-1M-S gives you the control you need.
The "tong grip" style is a favorite for a reason—it allows for quick and easy electrode changes with a simple squeeze, keeping your workflow smooth. The jaws are made from a high-conductivity copper alloy, which means the current gets to the rod efficiently, stabilizing your arc and producing better welds. Plus, the handle is built from high-impact, heat-resistant material, so it stays cooler in your hand even as you work through a pile of 7018s.
Installation is a breeze thanks to the mechanical connection. You don't need to mess around with solder; just strip your cable, insert it, and tighten the large set screw. It accommodates standard 1/0 and 2/0 cables, making it a versatile upgrade or replacement for most medium-duty welding machines. With the Anchor A-1M-S, you get a professional-grade tool that feels right in your hand and stands up to the sparks.
