“The biggest complaint we heard from welding professionals was that sleeves would come apart over time. After digging deeper, we discovered that, regardless of the thread used to sew the the hook-and-loop fasteners, the harsh, abrasive environments would wear down the stitching, causing the hook and loop to detach from the leather wrap. With our new technology, we’ve eliminated sewn stitches entirely by welding the hook and loop directly to the leather wrap. This innovation creates a superior product where the hook and loop remain secure, leaving only the leather material itself subject to wear."
- Mike May, Group Product Manager, Python
Weld Cable Wrap Materials
There are 5 different weld lead wrap materials to choose from, each with unique properties and resistance levels:
Featured: Leather Weld Cable Wrap
Among the five materials, the premium leather wrap provides durability and cutting-edge heat and abrasion resistance, ensuring a longer lifespan for your cable and leads in harsh environments.
It also features welded hook and loop fasteners instead of sewn, solving the #1 issue with leather wraps—stitching failure. Ideal for Arc, MIG, TIG, and laser applications, this leather sleeve is designed to protect your cables and leads, you, and your team.
