The cable that came with my used welder is Vari-Flex #1, and is in pretty
good shape. Haven't stretched them out yet to see how long. I'd say about
75'. There is one place where there is about a two inch melted coating.
Would it be better to just fix it with tape, or cut the cable and put a
connector in there? If tape, or something other than a connector, what's
good to use?

I would try to use heat shrink tubing. (you'd need to remove the stinger)

Please log in for more thread options Heat Shrink is available at most electrical supply places. Yes, if you're
lucky, you may find it at the welding supply. I think I've seen it advertised
with Harbor Freight and Northern Tools and Equipment, but I may not trust HF's
as well as that from some of the electrical suppliers. OTOH, You're dealing
with a bit lower voltages than you'd the electrical industry is used to.

Often in hanging bags in the walk in area.
Radio shack has little mostly small for electronics.
I bought some from MSC - a nice sample kit. Try them.
Electrical / electronic second hand / scrap / sales store - overages...
Fry's if you have one. Used to be mostly electronic parts now
much more and less of the engineering build stuff.
