Arc gouging torches are heavy-duty, industrial tools designed for precise metal removal, weld preparation, and defect correction, typically featuring a 15° head, a 360° swivel cable assembly, and a unique valve design for easy field repair. These torches are constructed from high-impact, heat-resistant materials and forged copper alloy to ensure durability and excellent electrical conductivity during demanding gouging operations

Gouging rods (also known as carbon electrodes) are specialized tools used in the welding industry to remove metal, prepare joints, or clear out defective welds.
