Abstract
A device for use in combination with a hand held resistance welder to allow for insertion of an elongated portion of metal between two electrodes for welding hard to reach areas. The device features a mount to attach the device to a conventional hand held resistance welder with a laterally translatable pressure shaft. Once operatively mounted, translation of the pressure shaft translates a pivoting electrode which in turn rotates a primary mounting arm which causes two electrodes to move together and form a weld on the metal inserted.
