I have a Lincoln 225 AC/DC arc welder that I would like to make
detachable leads for. Currently the leads currently used are
permanently attached to the welder. Has anyone done this before and if
so, how did you do it? I would like to attach some type of socket
connector to the welder so one could plug/unplug the leads. I am also
looking at making some extention leads for the welder so I would want
similar in-line connectors used to be available to make the extenstion
set.

Any suggestions, leads or (hint, hint) links to pictures would be
great.

Thanks

The local welding supplier will have just what you want. Also, an auto
parts store or good hardware store. Forney welding products are sold
at many good hardware stores and they make what you want. If the goal
is to build it yourself you can still see what works. Bring your
calipers, pencil, and paper to make a dimensioned sketch.

also check with forklift companies. The battery connectors from
electric forklifts can and are used to great effect for making up
extensions leads. And for jump starting cars and big rigs and so forth
