    This is answer to " perfect diy innovative idea" video.

    To be honest.
    Idea is interesting.

    I personally like fast rod changin possibility, changing the rod shouldn't take longer than actual welding task.

    Rod holders have allways been "wobly" that's why welders have allways supported the rod with finger. Specially in vertical welds support is necessary to keep rod steady.

    Rod holder should have possibility to adjust the angle of the rod.

    Also its possible that drill chuck gets stuck at some point, because electrizity that goes trough it "welds" it from the inside, little cap in some place inside it.. "spark" and its stuck.

    That's why rod holders are usually made from copper, it doesn't weld itself.

    I think that actual idea is still interesting, with a little changes it could be "awesome". I actually got an idea from this. Thank you.
