Eastwood and Harbor Freight has one that looks like a big clamp. The Two "tongs" clamp together with what you want two weld together between them. An electrical current runs thru the "tongs" and create the weld. Their expensive. Can also drill a small hole in one piece of the metal then weld thru that hole onto the other piece to be welded to create a spot weld. I did this method this weekend works great. Later

Are you talking about the one that Eastwood or JC Whitney have. You use it with your welder. They cost about 39.95 or so. I bought one of those, didn't really impress me to well. All the rods are, are shortened welding rods that fit into gun. You hold trigger to weld. smile
