TOUGH LOCK Consumables

Part of our Common Consumables Platform™, our well-known and trusted TOUGH LOCK® consumables can help to reduce your consumable costs and maintenance downtime.

TOUGH LOCK contact tips are manufactured from high-quality, high-conductivity copper using a mandrel-drawn process that controls tip tolerances. When mated with our TOUGH LOCK retaining heads, they produce lower contact tip temperatures.

Not currently using a Bernard® MIG gun? You can still enjoy the benefits of TOUGH LOCK consumables by installing them on other brands of MIG guns by using our TOUGH LOCK conversion series.

Learn more about how you can enjoy the benefits of dual taper technology for the same price as single taper TOUGH LOCK retaining heads.

TOUGH LOCK retaining heads with dual taper technology are manufactured with a tapered design at both ends that keep your consumables locked from contact tip to neck for improved weld consistency and to maximize heat dissipation, keeping your front end consumables running even cooler!

Overview
Contact Tips

Retaining Heads
Liners

Locking feature prevents contact tip and retaining head from overheating due to the loosening vibration often causes — cooler temperature reduces wear and extends consumable life

Greater surface area contact between the contact tip, retaining head and neck ensures better heat dissipation and guarantees positive electrical conductivity

Dual-lead thread design allows contact tips to be rotated 180° to a new wear position for extended contact tip life

Enjoy increased uptime due to less frequent consumable changes

TOUGH LOCK consumables are components of the Common Consumable Platform™, which allows for less inventory while maximizing flexibility and productivity across a variety of MIG welding applications
