Crain 987 Pressure Roller

This tool is used to weld seams in areas where a speed tip does not work well such as at coved areas. The welding rod is threaded through the hollow handle and put under the brass pressure roller. The pressure roller has a groove for guiding and pressuring the welding rod into the cove seam area. As the roller presses and holds the rod, a heat gun with pencil-tip nozzle welds it in place.
