Peek inside a welder’s life, upgrade your grind game, repair cables at home, and fun ways to pass the time.
ARE YOU A “BUSH MECHANIC”?
Nowadays, it’s all about DIY or as the narrator of Discovery’s Gold Rush likes to say, “Bush Mechanics” to describe those who make do with what they have, and hope for the best. With our top of the line cable cutting, crimping, and swaging tools, as well as U.S. and international style copper and brass fittings, nipples, and connectors, you can “bush fix” old power cables or water, gas and power leads all from the comfort of your own home. How’s that for DIY?
DO YOU SPEAK WELDER?
If we said, “Spacer,” “Stop” or “Rest” to Joe Shmoe, he’d probably think of a lazy coworker who never gets stuff done. Say that to a welder, and they’ll say, “Stops are a great way to position your pieces on a welding table. A rest and a spacer are widgets used to adjust positioning and clearance for height uniformity.” We get it, welders’ needs are unique, and Arc-Zone offers a wide variety of Strong Hand Tools to help you get the job done… without stopping & spacing out as you try to figure out how to jig it up just right!

#WELDLIKEAPRO
Four years ago, Lena Dotson experienced welding for the first time. “I put a hood on, I picked up that gun and I laid down my first weld ever. As soon as I seen that spark, I fell in love with welding. Watching that puddle fill up was so satisfying to me.” That was then, so where is she now? Visit CarmenElectrode.com to learn more about Lena’s passion for welding and how she’s encouraging more women to enter the industry.
FINDING LIGHT IN THE TUNNEL
“Coronavirus has torpedoed the global economy (and toilet paper aisles), but a reset in the fab shop might not be the worst thing. Metal fabricators now have the chance to take a collective breath and embark on new endeavors. A step back from the hustle might make a company better prepared to dash into the opportunities that await.” Read more at TheFabricator.com on how you can turn this global challenge into a personal victory!
