I am wondering if anyone knows of a mig gun that has a trigger lock on it like say one that a drill has????
With over 5 feet of mig weld going into a single piece that trigger is becoming a part of my hand.
Any one know of one or even heard of one?
Thanks in advance, nativebroncofan

My old 30a spoolgun had a trigger lock, but I don't recall seeing one on my new one. (Old one got stolen). If you can find a spoolgun built around the mid 90's, it would most likely have one. I'll look at mine tomorrow and see.

Cool thanks,
I've been trying to dream one up that could be used, just kinda hard when you're always being pushed for production.

The new spoolgun didn't have a trigger lock.

If you find an older one, it may use the compression style tips, as opposed to the newer screw-in type. I still have about 20 of the old style tip for .035 if you want them.
