A two-part alternative to standard electrodes, these electrodes reduce waste since you can reuse the shank. For a complete electrode, you'll need a tip and a shank (both sold separately). Press complete electrodes onto the tips of spot welders to change the size and shape of your weld. When the tip becomes worn, only the tip needs to be replaced.

Pointed Tip—Pointed tip electrodes are the most common. They’re good for most applications, including small welds.

Flat Tip—Flat tip electrodes create larger welds than pointed tips and are best when the weld appearance is less important.

Female—When used with water-cooled spot welders, female tips are less likely to spill water than male tips when swapping them out.
