Tech Tip: Streamline Your Workflow and Boost Productivity

Every Second Counts in a Busy Shop

If you've spent any time doing pull key welding for dent repair, you know the rhythm: you're making progress with your MAXI system, pulling dents efficiently, and then you pause to load the next welding key onto the electrode. While loading individual keys works, each pause in your workflow adds up—and on a busy day, those extra seconds can impact how many jobs you complete.

The Solution: Speed Key Loader

The Speed Key Loader is a game-changing accessory that attaches directly to your MAXI welder handle. This magazine-style attachment holds multiple copper-coated welding keys in its spring-loaded chamber. Load your keys into the magazine at the start of the job, then position the tip of the first key against your panel where you need to weld one on. The loader holds the key firmly in place while you pull the MAXI's trigger to complete the weld. Pull the loader away from the welded key, cycle the handle back and forward to advance the next key into position, and you're ready for your next key weld. No more reaching for individual keys, manually positioning them onto the electrode, and moving back into position for each key weld. You stay focused on the work area with everything you need already in hand.

Real-World Impact

On a typical panel repair, you're saving 2-5 minutes of handling time—but more importantly, you're maintaining focus and technique consistency. When you're not thinking about the mundane task of loading keys, you can concentrate on proper pull technique and achieving OEM-quality repairs. For high-volume shops, this efficiency gain translates to completing more jobs per day without rushing or compromising quality.
