Electrode holder, also known as a stinger, is a hand-held device that securely grips and holds a welding electrode during manual arc welding, enabling the transfer of welding current from the power source to the electrode to create a stable arc. Its primary purpose is to safely conduct electricity, provide a stable grip on the electrode for precise control, and protect the user from electric shock and heat through its insulated, heat-resistant materials and ergonomic design.
