What is the tool on the left called?

Hello,

That is a welding electrode holder with a welding rod inserted into it, if you look up electrode holder or welding stinger on the net it will give you a pretty good Idea. If you look up videos or pictures of people welding you will get an understanding of what it does.

Thanks! That'll help.

No problem, once you see what one is supposed to look like, you'll understand why i'm looking for help, lol
