OVERVIEW

Reliable Ignition for Every Job

When it comes to gas welding and cutting, starting your torch safely and efficiently is the first step to a successful project. The Arcair 96070031 Striker is a professional-grade tool designed to provide a consistent spark every time. Built with the durability that industrial professionals expect from the Arcair brand, this bar-style striker is an essential accessory for any welder's toolkit. Whether you are working in a fabrication shop, on a construction site, or in a home garage, having a reliable ignition source is critical for safety and productivity.

This striker features a robust steel construction that withstands the rough handling typical of welding environments. Unlike cheap disposable lighters or matches, which can be dangerous and unreliable in windy or industrial conditions, the Arcair Striker uses a friction-based flint mechanism to generate a hot, concentrated spark. This design ensures that your oxy-fuel, propane, or MAPP gas torch lights immediately, preventing the dangerous buildup of unburnt gas. The cup shape helps trap the gas mixture near the spark, facilitating a quick ignition even in drafty areas.

Maintenance is simple and cost-effective. The flints are easily replaceable, meaning you don't have to throw the tool away when the flint wears down. This makes the Arcair 96070031 a long-term investment in your welding setup. Its ergonomic design allows for easy operation with one hand, even while wearing heavy welding gloves. Compact and lightweight, it fits easily into a pocket or apron, ensuring it is always within reach when you are ready to strike an arc or start a cut.

Key Benefits:

  • Instant Ignition: Generates a strong spark for immediate torch lighting.
  • Safety First: Eliminates the need for open flame lighters or matches.
  • Durable Build: Made from high-quality materials to resist wear and tear.
  • Cost-Effective: Uses standard replaceable flints for extended service life.
