Features : Soldering irons with stands can have adjustable temperature controls, interchangeable tips, and the stand ensures stability and safety during use.

This range of repair equipment is designed to meet specific needs in the field of plastic repair, whether for automotive components, PVC water pipes, or other applications requiring plastic repair solutions.

Using bodywork welding tools :

Auto body welding tools are used in a variety of contexts to repair and restore metal and plastic components. Here are some of the common contexts in which welding tools are used in the bodywork field:

Sheet metal repairs :

Context : Where there are dents, dings or damage to metal body panels.

Tools used: Arc welders, MIG/MAG welders, TIG welders for finer repairs, welding tongs to hold parts in place while welding.

Welding exhaust pipes :

Context : Repair of exhaust systems that can be prone to corrosion and cracking.

Tools used: MIG/MAG welders, TIG welders, as well as specific accessories for working on exhaust systems.

Chassis and frame repair :

Context : When the vehicle's chassis or frame is structurally damaged.

Tools used : Arc welders, MIG/MAG welders for robust welding work, as well as measuring equipment to ensure precision in the repair.

Repair of plastic components :

Context : To restore plastic parts, such as bumpers, panels and grilles.

Tools used: Plastic welding tools such as specific soldering irons, plastic welding rods, and accessories for modelling and finishing.

Welding aluminium sheets :

Context : When aluminium components require repair or modification.

Tools used: TIG welders, as TIG welding offers high precision and control suitable for aluminium.

Body panel assembly :

Context : Assembly of new panels or replacement of damaged panels.

Tools used: MIG/MAG welders, arc welders, as well as welding tongs and fixtures to hold parts in place during welding.

Repair of previous welds :

Context : Correction of welds previously carried out or repair of defective welds.

Tools used : Appropriate welders for the type of metal used in the original weld.

It is essential to choose the right welding tools depending on the material to be welded, the nature of the repairs and the precision required. Bodywork professionals use their expertise to select the appropriate tools and techniques according to the specific requirements of each project.
