Plug Welders Pliers - Plug welds are often easier to perform and stronger than spot welds. Many body panels can be attached this way. The Plugweld Plier both clamps and supports the weld area to assure professional results. The copper swivel pad eliminates the problem of burn through because it absorbs excess heat and the weld will not stick to the copper pad. The "U" shaped moveable jaw provides even clamping pressure around the spot to be welded.

Thanks Andrew, but you took the same paragraph that was written in the ad... Are you being sarcastic?

I was hoping to hear from someone who has actually used these to explain the dynamics of the product in their own words, to better describe the products function...

Well if these are to be used to repair German made vehicles:

Stecker-Schweißer-Zangen - Steckerschweißungen sind häufig einfacher durchzuführen und stärker als Punktschweißungen. Vielen Körperverkleidungen können angebracht werden auf diese Weise. Die Plugweld Zange beide Klemmplatten und stützt den Schweißungsbereich, um Berufsresultate zuzusichern. Die kupferne Schwenkerauflage beseitigt das Problem Brand durch, weil sie überschüssige Hitze aufsaugt und die Schweißung nicht an der kupfernen Auflage festhält. Das " U" geformter beweglicher Kiefer stellt Druck sogar festklemmen um den Punkt geschweißt zu werden zur Verfügung. Importiert.

I find it easier to just use sheet metal screws every few holes. Make the welds, move the sheet metal screws as necessary.

Ah yes, but the instructions would have to be translated from German for the North American audience..

Plug Welder Pliers - Steckerschweißungen are often easier and faster than spot. Many body paneling can be affixed in this way. The Plugweld Zange both terminal plates and supports the Schweißungsbereich, professional results to application. The copper swivel edition eliminates the problem by fire because they are absorbing excess heat and the welding of copper is not firmly edition. The "U" shaped movable jaw is even pressure to firmly clamp the item to be welded are available. Imported.

Do you mean big sheet metal screws through the holes of the drilled out spot welds?

No, a small hole drilled through both pieces between spot weld points works best. After plug welds are complete, remove small screws and quick weld to fill. You just want to stabilize the work area and maintain alignment.
