Dent Fix
EZ Nitro Plastic Welder Kit
The Dent Fix EZ Nitro Plastic Welder Kit,
No. DF-EZN1G, eliminates the need for refilling
nitrogen tanks and has a smaller footprint,
taking up less space in the shop thanks
to its onboard nitrogen generator. The

(FAST) system makes the DF-EZN1G easy to
learn and use, according to the company. Equipped with two
welders, the DF-EZN1G incorporates both a nitrogen welding
torch and an airless welding torch. The nitrogen torch is air
cooled. The unit comes with plastic rod in various types and sizes
to enable the user to weld different types of plastic and different
types of damages. Also included is a roll of aluminum tape to
hold parts together when welding. The hand seaming tool helps
shape, flatten and ensure that repaired flanges and tabs are the
correct thickness. The cart is equipped with a heat gun holster,
and a power strip for powering other tools such as the optional
digital set heat gun (No. DF-900HG) and thermal hot stapler (No.
DF-800BR). The welder uses 110 V and a maximum of 10 amps,
