Cigweld 200 trigger spring
Hi gents,
Has anyone fitted a stronger spring to their Tweco gun? I think its a No 1, from approx 2004.
I keep on accidently pressing the trigger, while moving into position.
I looked at a exploded parts diagram but couldn't even see any 'springs'.
I'll pull it apart on the weekend and see how it works.

I'm a Binzel guy... but if it's anything like the binzel triggers, they are technically 1 piece according to the parts books. You could either shim it to make the existing spring firmer, or find / mod any of the 1000 different styles of springs out there to make it work with more feel. The binzel triggers I play with are just plastic hinge style assemblies, so they won't take a super firm spring before they implode.
The easiest options would be to get some better / more dextrous gloves and be less clumsy. Eliot's Big red CRX gloves are worth a look if you are looking to upgrade. Been burning thru them of late.

Depending on the work/position I often use a TIG glove on my gun hand, and a heavy glove on the other. Needs to be a longer cuff/gauntlet type of TIG glove though - the short ones don’t give enough spatter protection.
Need to be aware of what you’re wearing though - you’ll wake up pretty quickly if you grab a freshly welded part with a thin TIG glove.
