For operators who want the familiar feel of a paddle-style, industrial-grade MIG gun, the new Tweco Classic 4 is an enhanced version of the original Tweco Number 4.
Tweco, a Victor Technologies brand, has launched the Tweco Classic Number 4 MIG gun, an enhancement of the Tweco Number 4. According to the company, enhancements to the Tweco Classic include higher impact resistant materials, an interlocking handle design for enhanced toughness, an angled trigger for a more comfortable pull and refined, modernized lines. The Tweco Classic 4 is an air-cooled MIG gun with a rating of 400 amps at 60% duty cycle.
"I like the Tweco Classic handle because it is flatter," said Jeremy Holloway, a welder/fitter with Bellingham Metal Works (BMW), Bellingham, MA. "Skinny handles you have to squeeze a lot more - it puts a lot of stress on your hand. This gun is nice because you barely have to move your finger to pull the trigger."
"The Tweco guns are excellent for our shop," said BMW Project Manager Robert Stow, Jr. "Our guys are pretty rough on the equipment, and Tweco guns stand up. They are very durable. I'm only going to make money in this company if we are producing parts."
The Tweco Classic 4 is the first in a new series of air-cooled guns. The other products are the Tweco Classic 2 (rated at 200 amps @ 60% duty cycle), the Tweco Classic 3 (300 amps @ 60% duty cycle), the Tweco Classic 5 (500 amps @ 60% duty cycle) and the Tweco Classic 6 (600 amps @ 60% duty cycle).
