The Contact stud welding gun is a fantastic choice for manual Capacitor Discharge (CD) stud welding on thin sheet metals. This lightweight tool has been designed for balanced use, in order to minimise operator fatigue and make it comfortable and easy to use.

​

Though it only weighs 1.9kg, the Contact C2 is highly durable, made from impact resistant Verton. It has a welding range of 2-10mm and can weld standard studs of up to 35mm in length. With extended assemblies, it can weld studs of any length.

​
