Welding Rod Extender
![]() |
"I was a welder until an accident put me in a wheelchair," says Malloy. "It lets me get the rod where I need to, even from my chair."
The head swivels 180?. It seats rods up to 1/8-in. dia. without changing collet and tips. Adapters for larger rods are available. The thumb clamp has a quick connect/disconnect.
Malloy says the Expander, as he calls it, gives excellent control of the electrode. It also puts an end to jury-rigging rods to give them a little "added" reach.
"No more bending rods, breaking flux or welding rods together," says Malloy.
The Welding Rod Expander sells for $69.95. Extensions (6-in.) sell for $10 each. Malloy markets the device himself.
