Professional stud welders get the job done whether their equipment is in mint condition or a bit “well loved,” but choosing the right tool for the job can still take some deliberation. At Northland Fastening Systems (NFS), we provide rentable stud-welding equipment as well as new items for purchase, so no matter what you need, our team can accommodate your game plan.
New Stud-Welding Equipment
Pros: The pros of new equipment probably seem obvious at first glance. New equipment is going to be in peak condition, which means a lower chance of irregularities or potential failures caused by the stud-welding equipment. It also tends to be the latest model available, and if there are any technological advancements to be had, you’ll find them in new models. For many professional stud welders or team coordinators, buying new stud-welding equipment is a sure-fire way to keep your work consistent and clean.
Cons: The downsides of brand-new stud-welding equipment tend to fall under two factors—cost and familiarity. Naturally, buying new is going to run your purchase bill a bit higher. For welders, the exchange for reliability makes that price tag worth it. The other potential snag is familiarity. Though most stud guns and equipment are going to work fine in the hands of a professional, there is still merit to sticking with a model or parts that you know you handle well.
Used/Rented Equipment:
Pros: One of the clearest benefits of renting is the price. If you find yourself in need of equipment on a project with a small budget or have unexpectedly found yourself out of an item you were sure you had on hand, renting is a saving grace. Renting is also a safety net for stud welders who’ve encountered sudden equipment failure or an unexpected setback with their materials.
Cons: At the end of the day, renting your stud-welding equipment has few cons. As long as you’re getting your goods from a reliable team like the fastening experts at NFS, renting items can be cost-effective, easy in a pinch, and a simple way to ensure your team is outfitted even when the unexpected happens.
