Stud Welding Equipment
There are benefits to both renting and owning stud welding equipment, depending on your priorities and situation. If you’re looking to get started in stud welding but aren’t sure whether renting or owning equipment is a better fit, consider the following benefits of each.
Renting Benefits
- By renting stud welding equipment, you avoid the majority of maintenance and repair expenses.
- You can also avoid downtime if unexpected and expensive repairs are needed.
- Rented tools are easier access and cheaper options for short-term projects or one-time jobs.
- You can pick and choose from a variety of newest and specialty models.
- You don’t have to commit to one tool that might be perfect for one job and slightly imperfect for another.
- Extra studs, accessories, ferrules, and other components are supplied with rental tools in case one breaks.
- You can become a more versatile welder if you have the opportunity to work with multiple brands, welder types, and processes by renting tools.
Owning Benefits
- By owning a stud welding equipment, you can perform your own maintenance, so you’ll always know what to expect.
- Tools are conveniently at hand.
- For long-term jobs or if you are a stud welder by trade, owning your own tools is by far the cheaper option than renting.
- You get to know your tool very well and can improve your precision with practice.
- You learn how to repair your own tool.
- Owning your own tools improves your professional image.
- The better you learn your tool, the faster you can work, which saves you money, time, and physical fatigue.
