The Premier Power Welder is...
The Premier Power Welder is capable of welding a wide variety of metals and can be used anywhere you can get your vehicle. Here a tie rod is reinforced after being bent back into shape.
No one likes breaking their vehicle on the trail, especially when the broken item is something that could easily be repaired in the shop with a welder. If you have a few batteries, jumper cables, and some welding rod, you can fashion a crude, makeshift welder to complete the repairs, but the results are a bit lacking and the setup process takes a good bit of time. That's why the Premier Power Welder package is such a huge addition to any well-prepped trail machine.
The Premier welding system offers a high-frequency pulsating DC current that takes only 2/3 of the amperage of conventional welders and can use any AC or DC electrode up to 1/8 inch at 100-percent duty cycle. The Premier unit can weld stainless steel, mild steel, high-carbon steel, and aluminum with no size or plate-thickness limitations. This makes it ideal for trail use as you can tackle just about any welding task that may arise. The 115-volt DC central control box also features a power outlet jack capable of powering many tools and accessories and a battery charger that can rejuice a battery from 6 to 36 volts in just minutes.
The Premier Power Welder is designed to be simple, reliable, and functional for any user. Installation is quick and easy, simply requiring replacing the stock alternator with one of Premier's specially hand-wound, high-performance, high-output units and mounting and wiring the central control box. The Premier Power Welder is a useful tool for any vehicle, and its welding and repair capability will ensure worry-free wheeling every time you hit the trail.
Mounting possibilities for the 4x4x9-inch central control unit are seemingly endless. We've seen units mounted under the dash, in the engine compartment, and in a custom-made storage box at the rear of the vehicle. Premier supplies a 6-foot wiring harness and a 6-foot verniered throttle control assembly, but 10-, 15-, and 20-foot lengths are also available. The unit shown in this CJ is mounted to the driver-side inner fender. Premier also offers a mounting shelf for Jeep TJs that installs on the passenger-side inner fender in front of the stock airbox.
The throttle control assembly...
The throttle control assembly can be mounted underhood or in the cab. Premier suggests mounting it within line of sight of the central control unit to aid in making fine adjustments and achieving the highest-quality weld.
A high-output alternator is...
A high-output alternator is also included in the Premier Power Welder package. Premier offers alternators in varying amperage ranging from 155 to 200 amps, which are available for many vehicle applications.
Welding leads are not included...
Welding leads are not included with the kit, but multiple lengths are available so you can pick which best fits you and your vehicle's needs. Premier's #4 stinger and ground cable welding leads are offered in 10-, 15-, 20-, 25-, and 50-foot lengths. The 20-foot length leads fit nicely in this Master Craft tool tote bag along with plenty of welding rod, a pair of welding goggles, a welding cap, a chipping hammer, and leather gloves.
