CAN I BORROW THAT?
You can pick your friends, and pick your tools, but you can’t steal your friend’s tools. Moral of the Story: Invest in your own Sharpie™ grinder, and you’ll never again wonder why your arc wanders and your welds look like very distant cousins. Tungsten taper & finish matter! But don’t take our word for it. Ask your friends or check-out the reviews from our customers.
GO AHEAD & GET UP REAL CLOSE

Meet David DeMoise, a mobile crane welder by day and welding fixture table fabricator by night. While in high school, David wanted to modify the suspension on his 1987 Toyota pickup so he decided to learn how to do it himself. He took a welding course at his local community college and has been hooked ever since saying, “I love the process of welding, but what I enjoy most is that it allows me to fabricate and build most anything I can dream up out of metal.” Like most of us, David is inspired by the fabricators on Instagram and credits the online welding community for his growth, but the one person who has really helped him become who he is today is his dad. “I’ve had a lot of mentors throughout my career but my biggest role model would be my dad. He taught me how to work hard and be successful,” he says.
SEMPER FORTIS
In 2016, the US Navy announced its intention to name a series of ships after civil rights leaders. The John Lewis (T-AO 205) first-in-class oilers… “will, for decades to come, serve as a visible symbol of the freedoms Representative Lewis holds dear, and his example will live on in the steel of that ship and in all those who will serve aboard her, ” stated Ray Mabus (then Secretary of the Navy). recently, construction of the USNS John Lewis has begun in the General Dynamics NASSCO shipyard. At the keel laying ceremony on the ship’s deck, Lewis practiced his hand at MIG welding by personally initialing the ship’s keel plate. He praised NASSCO’s team, saying, “The diversity of the crew building the ship is inspiring. They’re black, they’re white, they’re Latino, they’re Asian American, they’re Native American – if people can come together and build a ship to travel the sea, why we can’t come together as a people?” At Arc-Zone, we’re honored to support General Dynamics and all branches of the military by supplying them with high quality welding tools & accessories to get the job done – big or small!
