Battery-powered stud welding
Cut the cord, keep the power.
The LYNX Battery line
Go Unplugged
No outlet, no generator, no cord. The Freedom A.R.C. and the Liberty carry their own power, so the welder goes where the work is.
Drawn Arc and Capacitor Discharge
The Freedom A.R.C. welds studs up to 1/2″ with Drawn Arc (DA). The Liberty welds nails, cupped head pins and studs up to #10 with Capacitor Discharge (CD).
Power on board
The Freedom A.R.C.’s LiFePO4 pack gives 150 welds per charge on 1/2″ studs and up to 1,500 on 3/16″ studs. The Liberty runs on two 18V Makita-compatible batteries, about 1,200 welds each.
Light enough to carry
The Freedom A.R.C. weighs 34 lb and the Liberty 13.5 lb with both batteries, so you can move between spots without dragging a cord or a generator.
