Image Industries recently announced the release of their latest contact and gap stud weld tools. These new tools feature precision-engineered components for quick, convenient setup and optimum performance, and, unlike competitive brands, both products offer full range adjustments without changing any internal components. A unique adjustment feature makes changing the plunge fast and effortless. The gap and contact models weigh 1.9 lbs. (.88 kg) and include standard legs, foot, and cable. Each tool has a stud range capacity of 14 gauge through 3/8" (3 mm – 10 mm) and comes with a standard chuck nut wrench. The lightweight, ergonomic design minimizes operator fatigue and is compact enough to fit into even the tightest weld areas. Image’s contact and gap tools are compatible with a variety of power supplies on the market.

"We’ve found that by engineering better tools, we can open the welding process up to less experienced users and increase our customers’ overall productivity," says Blake Hobson, Vice President of Marketing. “Our contact and gap stud weld tools accomplish this without sacrificing the high level of safety and design our clientele has come to expect from Image."

The gap model generates gap distances automatically and does not require the user to preset the gap or lift the mechanism manually. The tool also features a rear gap adjustment similar to a power drill clutch, allowing settings to be changed at a moment’s notice. The contact tool is designed for compatibility with most stud welding power supplies, and its uniquely designed LED indicator provides immediate visual feedback on heat settings which eliminates guesswork by the operator.
