- I just received the FREE item from CK Worldwide, the EZ Dabr. This device is a tool to help assist learning how to feed filler wire when Tig welding.
In this video I show using EZ Dabr for the first time and my honest opinion regarding this tool.

Thanks for giving our ez dabr a nice review. Just for everyone's info, the little spring like part of the ez dabr is meant to be bent to conform to the way each individual wants to use it so it is very easy to feed. Also, lots of folks use their hand and fingers together to feed the wire. Nice job Chuck. We are catching up on the deliveries by the way. Art Kleppen
It’s too fragile for that small weld. I almost snapped off following your instruction. I don’t recommend this idea. Don’t bend it unless you’re very very careful.
Other than that, it’s a great too and much appreciation to you guys sending out these products for free. Definitely a customer for life
Thank you Art
Mine just came in the mail after a few months of requesting one from Jody. I’m so confused on how to use this thing lol. Thanks for showing us
Me too man. I thought it would be one you could squeeze and it push the rod.
Thanks for the great video. I tried welding oxy/acetylene with the Henrob torch years ago and it looked like a second grader had welded. My wife laughed and told me I needed glasses. I went to Wally world and bought some cheaters and tried it again. It almost looked like I was a real welder after that. I'm 65 yrs old now and I keep a 2.5 cheaters lens in my hood for all welding, oxy/ fuel, stick, mig, and tig. And I have never been very good at feeding the rod either. I'm going to try the EZ Dabr also. Thanks for the video. Dan
60 years worn out here, and have been using cheaters forever it seems like! Now if CKW could make something to keep my ancient shaky hands from sticking the tungsten in the puddle, I might have a fighting chance! Ha! I received my EZ DABR today, and it feels like a well made piece! Haven’t had a chance to use it, but I’m sure it will help!
Just got mine today! Can't wait to give a try tomorrow.
I put a 1.5 diopter cheater lens in both of my helmets about 10 years ago and my welds improved instantly!!
Can see tight seams, even on shade 11or 12.
Got mine for under $10 at my local welding supply shop
Hello Robert...good news and be interesting to know what you think of the tool
Look forward to the follow up report in 6 months.
I was wondering how those would work. Thanks for the demo Chuck.
I teach at the local Maker Space in Ann Arbor Michigan. So all newbie welders, they seem to like them.
LIKE IT!👍✔💯 If I may say so Chuck Do some dry runs with the camera and the welder off You' l improve feed10 fold...I'm still waiting on CK...they are way swamped 6-12 weeks they told me several weeks ago.
That's a pretty nifty little gadget. Thanks for the review Chuck
Nice Video Chuck, thanks for sharing your experience! you and I have the same "old guy" issue with eyesight and TIG welding, LOL.
Hi Chuck. Aren't you concerned about what the welding flash can do to bare skim? Thanks for the demo.
It kills covid in its tracks
Yeah, melanoma….
Thanks Chuck and Charlie. I just ordered my free unit. Maybe my aluminum welding will improve.
Hi Chuck,
Looks like a nice bit of kit.
Take care
Paul,,
Looking forward to trying out mine when it comes in. It will be interesting to see how it changes the way that you weld over time! Hope all is well there - TZ
Nice tool Chuck, I'll have to try one out, thanks for sharing!
That’s what SHE said! Ha!
@@tomt9543 😂😂😂
@@RaysGarage Sorry buddy! I couldn’t help myself! Have a blessed day!
That has to be handy. It looks like it is thumb powered or did I see wrong. Keep on keeping on.
Looking good Chuck!
ATB, Robin
Haven't received mine yet, Chuck. Looking forward to trying it out.
Cheers, Gary
I got an email that said there was a delay in deliveries....but, got it today and was trying it 15 min. later.....
@@outsidescrewball Yes, I also received the "delay in deliveries" email a week or so ago, but still waiting here.
Nice vid mate just got mine and off to work with it in a cupple days so only time will tell will report back my opinion 👍
hope you find it helpful...I did..
Looks like a good tool. I’ve never been very good at feeding the rod.
It's good
I forgot about filling out the form to receive one, but I have never got one yet.
Figure it was just a scam.
Glad to see you got it.
Can I Barrow it Chuck, He He
go to the link in the comments, think you still can get free.....
It’s been several months for me, but mine showed up today! Thanks CKW!
why are you using ac on steel? you should be using straight polarity
Sure sounds like AC
unit was set to DC...thanks for viewing
Use gloves my guy, melanoma and etc. Are no joke.. great video though! Was clueless how to use the thing lol BTW sounds like you are using ac on mild steel.. I could be wrong but definitely need DCEN for mild steel
thanks for viewing and comments...I think you were hearing the HF which I had left on....
I’m pretty sure I’m hearing the HF being on. If it is turn it off unless you are welding aluminum and you will do better.
Thank you for the comment and you are correct, the HF was on. I will switch off to see the difference....thanks for viewing and the assistance....HNY
Looks very useful.
You try to give the video more brightness it will be great if you do
I just ordered my free EZ Daber!
Yeh me to but it's been months now and still waiting
I did get mine, it took a few months, I had totally forgotten about it! I’ll have to watch the video again to see how to use it!
Where do I get mine?
One thing I didn't like about it is that the flat on the ends of the filler rod don't fit in the ez dabr collet, so you need to snip them off.
how about using the flat end first. won't that work? 🤪
@@joell439 There's a flat on each end of the filler, for *MOST* filler rod. Some don't have any, depends on the brand and size of filler, it may have to do with size. I have some .045" that is not flat stamped, not sure if that's because of the filler size or not, but I have some 1/16" Tensileweld (Washington Alloy) that is not flat stamped either. Other 1/16" ER70S-2 I have is. I mentioned this to CK Worldwide about a month ago, but was told that nobody else had reported that. If you run a 3/32" filler through a 1/8" collet you don't see this issue, but the filler is a bit loose in the collet.
TraditionalToolworks - Thanks so much for the additional details and clarification. Shows you all I don’t know squat about welding. 😊 I really appreciate all that people share so I can learn something. All the filler I have either has the flat on only one end, or not at all. Maybe a cut in the middle and the use the flat ends first??
@@joell439 Yes, cutting it in the middle would work, but smaller rod length. Don't get me wrong, the EZ Dabr is a very useful tool for a lot of people, and it's free, so hat's off to CK Worldwide. As ArtK said in a podcast a while back, he just wanted to give something back to the community. I'm a loyal CK Worldwide product user myself. I only use their torches, but I don't weld for a living either, and only own 4 torches.
@@joell439
I normally cut rods in half, 20" rods are much easier to handle, especially with dodgy hands like mine. I just got mine, looking forward to giving it a whirl!
holly bat balls chuck turn that gas down it sound like the air compressor is spraying lol
But, What does the Screwy Ball say ?? :) :)
How long you been tig welding? U only say you can't feed the wire because you doubt yourself for what ever reason. Nevertheless, I see nothing wrong with using n aid such as the dabr. I got one ordered. Lastly, yes get more helmet time and review folks like Jody and fabrication welding (Dustin) and just have fun but be serious and truly focus when you get time n you'll be just fine. We get upset quickly when we ain't used to things. It's ok. Pray n ask for help. I don't care how young or old you are. You obviously like welding so don't waste time on bad habits. Alternate between using dabr and hand to feed wire. You'll get it.
Chad, thank for viewing and your comments...
@@outsidescrewball ur welcome. God bless you.
@@outsidescrewball oh. Forgot, but got that dabr today n lord willing when I get the time I'll definitely want to try it. I do thank God for CK for not expiring the free product. That was awesome. Ok. Good day.
cool ..
I am old and good lighting is vital to see where I am welding. I modified an old quartz work lamp that utilized a single rectangular housing with a quartz halogen lamp mounted on a tripod (similar to this with only one lamp: www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200695137_200695137 ). I gutted the interior and mounted a pair of COB LEDs onto a piece of aluminum sheet (.050"thick) and screwed it into the housing, soldered on the AC leads from the switch to the COBs not necessarily in this order. The intensity of the light allows me to see everything. Here are the LED COB lights I used: www.banggood.com/LUSTREON-AC110V-or-220V-20W-30W-50W-White-or-Warm-White-COB-LED-Chip-40X60mm-for-DIY-Flood-Light-p-1174281.html?cur_warehouse=CN&ID=3837510956515305&rmmds=search ). The original halogen tubes get extremely HOT! The COB LEDs run cool. I did not reuse the original shiny aluminum reflector. Instead, I painted the interior of the lamp housing a gloss white. There are untold ways to do this as the COB LEDs can be mounted just about anywhere.
Hello Paul...I certainly understand the issue of lighting and vision when welding... thanks for viewing
I had to mount a petzl head lamp to my helmet to shine light to see. I am at 11 shade now for aluminum tig.
