What are welding tools and what tools do you need if you’re a beginner? Common supplies consist of a welding machine, safety equipment such as a helmet, gloves, a mask, and basic tools like hammers, clamps, saws, and torches. So what should you focus on what getting started?

Without the proper tools, welding is not possible. You want to be able to prepare your metal properly and have the ability to measure, cut and clean your workpieces. Some welders require consumable electrodes and ground clamps for their projects.

A welding hammer is an important tool to have on hand. These are for chipping away slab-coating to reveal your weld. MIG pliers are essential because they are used to safely remove the hot nozzle from your welding gun, remove the contact tip, and clip the wire to the correct measurement. Adjustable wrenches are perfect for tightening to regulators of a gas welder and also for prying metal apart. Clamps are important to hold your workpieces together and prevent any warping from pushing materials out of position. Handheld grinders are versatile and useful to have because they are great for grinding uneven surfaces and cleaning up your workpieces. A Sawzall saw is great for cutting surfaces that are difficult to reach with a portable bandsaw. Cutting torches are alternative to plasma cutters and offer a wide range of features for easy light metal preparations. These include a handle with built-in check valves and a cutting attachment.

Have a proper welding machine is also important but knowing what type of welding you want to do will determine which machine you will want to purchase. Make sure to remember your welding helmet, which also comes in a variety of options, and your welding gloves. These pieces are very important for your safety and comfort when working on welding projects.
