Miller 040208 Spot Welder Tongs (Pair)

The Miller 040208 Tongs are an essential accessory for any workshop utilizing resistance spot welding equipment. Designed and manufactured by Miller Electric, these 8-inch tongs are specifically engineered to facilitate the safe and efficient removal and installation of spot welder tips. In resistance welding, tips are often press-fitted onto tapered electrodes; over time, heat and pressure can cause them to seat firmly, making removal difficult without the proper tools.

Constructed from durable steel, these tongs provide the mechanical advantage needed to grip and twist tips off their tapers without damaging the electrode or the machine itself. The 8-inch length is optimal for industrial use, offering enough distance to keep the operator's hands away from residual heat while maintaining precise control over the tool. Sold as a pair, they ensure you always have the right tool at hand for maintenance tasks.

Regular maintenance of spot welder tips is crucial for maintaining weld quality. Worn or mushroomed tips must be dressed or replaced to ensure proper current density and weld strength. The Miller 040208 tongs streamline this process, reducing downtime and enhancing safety in the shop environment. They are compatible with a wide range of Miller spot welders, including the LMSW and SSW series.
