A welding holder, also known as a welding clamp or electrode holder, is a hand-held tool used by welders to hold and manipulate welding electrodes during the welding process. It is a crucial piece of equipment for stick welding, also known as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW).The welding holder is typically made of durable materials such as brass or copper alloy, with an insulated handle to protect the welder from electrical shock. It is designed to securely grip the welding electrode and provide a stable connection between the electrode and the welding machine.
