Making the choice of manufacturer and seller to purchase your stud weld products may not seem like a critical decision, but it will be important. Ideally, finding a company that can supply the equipment, including the power source as well as the tools is going to be essential.

Some of the top companies go well beyond this basic requirement to offer a range of value-added services. These should also include a full selection and on-hand inventory of common weld studs, replacement parts and repair services.

To make sure you are choosing the best option in a company for your stud weld products, consider the following issues.

Niche Company or General Equipment Supplier

There are a lot of general contractor suppliers that offer stud weld equipment and some of the more common sizes of weld studs. These suppliers are not the manufacturer’s however, which can lead to problems in getting answers to questions or even having the ability to get expert insight into options to consider based on your use requirements.

A niche company that focuses exclusively on stud weld products will provide the customer support and service required.

Expertise and Experience with Stud Welding

Not only do niche companies have the answers about their equipment, but they also have actual working knowledge and expertise about stud welding in a variety of applications. This is invaluable information in choosing new equipment or replacing existing.

It typically also ensures that the company will have the in-house inventory needed to fill your orders. These companies also have the ability to customize different aspects of their full line of products to optimize equipment or weld studs for your general needs or a specific project.

A few of the niche companies offering stud welding products and equipment will also offer engineering expertise and support and even weld operator training. These additional services can be invaluable to a contractor or company and should be a consideration when choosing a brand and seller.
