WELDING LEADER ESAB OFFERS HANDS-ON CUTTING AND WELDING DEMONSTRATIONS AT HOT RODS N' HEROES CAR SHOW

North Bethesda, Md. – ESAB, as a guest of title sponsor Encore Gas & Supply, will exhibit and demonstrate products from its “Ultimate Lineup” of welding and cutting equipment at the annual Hotrods N’ Heroes Car Show on Sunday, March 29, in Huntington Beach, California. The event, located on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) south of the Huntington Beach Pier, features hotrods, classics, customs, vintage cars, trucks and muscle cars. It is expected to draw an estimated 20,000–25,000 visitors.

ESAB will offer hands-on welding and cutting demonstrations and have its experts on site to answer technical questions. Experienced welders will appreciate how the advanced capabilities of ESAB welders can take their projects to the next level, while novice welders can experience how ESAB technologies such as “smart MIG” enable them to obtain good results with just a little training.

“The need to weld, cut and shape metal is as integral to the hotrod community as the need to cruise the iconic PCH,” said Albert Miller, U.S. Vice President of Distribution Sales at ESAB. “ESAB would like to thank Encore for inviting us to participate in this premier event. We salute their tireless efforts to support the locations in which they live, work and play.” 

Encore Gas & Supply is a privately owned industrial supply distributor based in Long Beach, California, with additional showrooms in Ontario and Valencia. The company provides mission-critical gases, welding and industrial equipment, safety gear and automation tools to industries. 

Hotrods N’ Heroes was created by the 42 Foundation in partnership with QruisinPCH. The 42 Foundation is the charitable arm of the Huntington Beach Police Officers Association and supports law enforcement officers, their families and those who serve and protect. Born from a quarantine cruise in 2020, QruisinPCH connects automotive enthusiasts with the open road. Their shared mission is to continue to build bridges between law enforcement and the public to strengthen trust, gratitude and unity.

“Supporting Hotrods N’ Heroes fits perfectly with the culture of our community-oriented company,” said Ben Anderson, Encore President. “We are hands-on, maker-type people who love hot rods and cool cars, and supporting police and first responders is in our blood.”

ESAB Ultimate Lineup

Like a hotrod, the only way to truly tell what’s “under the hood” of a welder or plasma cutter is to fire one up, or, as ESAB says, “Weld around and find out!” Highlights of products at Hotrods N’ Heroes and available for purchase through Encore include:

• Rebel™ EMP 205ic AC/DC, a true all-process welder for MIG, flux cored, Stick, DC TIG, pulsed DC TIG and AC TIG for aluminum welding. Rebel 205 can do it all and do it better than any other welder in its class. Runs on 120V/230V power. 
• Rebel EMP 215ic, a multiprocess welder for MIG, flux cored, Stick and Lift TIG welding. All Rebel welders feature ESAB’s sMIG, or Smart MIG technology, which makes learning to MIG weld easier and faster. 
• The innovative Renegade VOLT™ ES 200i battery-powered welder for Lift TIG and Stick welding. Uses four DeWalt® FLEXVOLT® batteries for when welding “off the grid” saves your bacon and big bucks (like off-roading); also connects to 120V/230V power.
• Rustler EM 280 PRO combines simple, intuitive controls, a 280A output and outstanding MIG and flux cored arc performance for reliable operation in general industrial fabrication.
• Rogue™ EMP 210 PRO (MIG, flux cored, Stick and Live TIG (no pulsed TIG or AC TIG)) and Rogue EM 210 PRO (MIG/flux cored). Multi-voltage, compact, lightweight and portable, Rogue welders deliver excellent arc performance and controls to fine-tune arc characteristics based on the material being welded. Synergic “one knob” control makes MIG welding easy to learn.
• Rogue ES 201iP PRO (Live TIG, pulsed Stick) and Rogue ET 210iP PRO (HF arc starts, pulsed TIG and Stick) for professional-grade Stick and DC TIG welding.
• Ruffian EMP 270G EDW, a multiprocess engine-driven welder with 11 kW of power through 120 VAC and 240 VAC auxiliary outlets. Designed for contractors, mobile fabricators, farm/ranch, maintenance and welding and generator power in remote locations.
• Thermal Dynamics® Cutmaster® 30+ and Cutmaster 50+ manual plasma cutters slice through any conductive material with speed and precision. Both use 120V/230V power, and the 50+ has a pre-installed connection for use with a CNC plasma table.
• Victor® oxy-acetylene outfits, including the Journeyman EDGE 2.0 (the industry’s premier outfit) and Medalist® 250 Classic medium-duty outfit.
• Sentinel™ A60 and Savage A50 LUX welding helmets deliver advanced OpTCS™ true-color viewing at a flawless EN 1/1/1/1 optical level, while the Savage A41 offers True Color ADF and a 1/1/1/2 optical level.
