Maximize Welding Efficiency with the Ultimate Stubby Rod Saver!


The Stubby Rod Saver is a heavy-duty, screw-clamp style electrode holder used in stick welding (SMAW). Manufactured by Martin Wells Industries, it is designed to securely grip welding rods and allow welders to burn electrodes down to the final inch, reducing waste and increasing productivity.


Key Features & Benefits:


  • Deep Burning: Allows the welder to burn the electrode to within 1 inch of the head, compared to 3 inches with standard tong-type holders.

  • High Gripping Power: Features over 2,000 pounds of gripping pressure, which firmly locks the rod in place and lets you bend the rod to access hard-to-reach areas.

  • High Amperage: Built for heavy-duty tasks, it typically handles 300 to 400 amps.

  • Rebuildable: The holder is fully rebuildable, meaning individual worn-out parts can be replaced instead of buying a brand-new unit.
