Welding is a physically demanding job. Welders often need to contort themselves to reach a weld joint, bend their arm and wrist into awkward positions, all while holding a heavy torch for prolonged periods of time to produce the best possible weld. Short term this can cause aches and stiffness, but there are real risks of longer-term musculoskeletal damage to the shoulders, neck, back and wrists.
No Compromise
Traditional Mig welding torch designs can be pretty bulky and heavy, with focus on power and performance rather than welder comfort. But, there are ways to make the experience better for the welder without compromising on performance. In fact, a more comfortable welder is likely to perform even better!
That’s where Parker Torchology comes in. Our Suregrip BZL range considers every detail to ensure that the welder has the very best handling in every position, while also maximising performance.
Suregrip BZL Key Ergonomic Features include:
Lightweight Design: Parker Torchology’s BZL Mig torches are constructed from lightweight materials. This reduces the strain on the welder’s arm and shoulder.
Balance: There is no need to hold on tight to keep the torch in place. Soft grips and clever weight distribution makes sure that the torch doesn’t tilt or twist in the hand.
Ergonomic Handle: The screwless handle is designed to fit comfortably in the welder’s hand, reducing fatigue and preventing strain. Soft grips make it even easier to keep the welding torch in the right position.
Trigger Use: The welder will likely press the trigger countless times in a day. The balance of the torch and positioning of the trigger means that there is no strain to keep the torch level and in place while pressing.
Cable Sets: Designed for flexibility, our cable and cable support assembly make it easier to position the torch in place. No more fighting against the cable – the welder can easily change position without compromise with the additional aid a ball joint.
