What is a stud welder?

A stud welder is a tool used for welding studs to a metal surface. It is commonly used in the construction, automotive, and electrical industries. The stud welder uses an arc welder or a capacitor discharge welder to create a small weld pool where the stud is placed before it is quickly welded to the metal surface. The studs are commonly used for securing other equipment, mounting brackets, and support structures. Welded studs provide a stronger attachment point compared to screws, nuts and bolts. There are different types and sizes of stud welders, including handheld and automatic welders. The stud welder is a versatile tool that is used in many industries and applications.
