Q 1. What is the Draper 74343 used for?

A. The Draper 74343 is a stud nail for automotive bodywork dent repair. Stud nails are resistance-welded to body panels to create pull points, then used with a slide hammer or pulling bridge to remove dents without cutting the panel.

Q 2. Which stud welder is the 74343 compatible with?

A. Check the product specification for compatible stud welding machine models. The Sealey SR2000 Stud Welding Kit and compatible systems are the primary machines for this type of consumable.

Q 3. Are these studs single use?

A. Yes — each stud or washer is a single-use consumable. It is welded to the panel, used for pulling, then snipped or pulled off. The weld point is ground smooth and filled as part of the repair process.

Q 4. How do I prepare the panel before welding studs?

A. Grind or sand away paint and primer to expose bare metal at the weld point. Good metal-to-metal contact is essential — even a thin paint film causes weak welds that pull off before the dent moves.

Q 5. How many studs do I need for a typical dent repair?

A. It depends on the size of the dent. A small dent (coin size) may need 3–5 studs; a large dent across a whole panel may need 20–30 or more. Having a generous supply prevents running short mid-job.

Q 6. What happens to the panel after the stud is removed?

A. After pulling, the stud is snipped off flush. The small weld point is typically ground smooth and then filled, primed, and painted as part of the standard body repair process.

Q 7. Can these studs be used on aluminium panels?

A. Resistance stud welding works on ferrous (steel) panels. For aluminium, a different pulling technique (such as glue tab systems) is typically used. Check your stud welder's specification for material compatibility.

Q 8. What size are the 74343 studs?

A. Dimensions are as specified in the product name: m6. Check the Technical Specifications section of the product listing for full dimensional details.

Q 9. What safety equipment do I need for welding?

A. At minimum you need a welding helmet or headshield (auto-darkening recommended), leather welding gauntlets, a fire-resistant apron or jacket, and steel-toe boots. For enclosed spaces, a fume extractor or respirator is essential. A welding curtain or screen protects bystanders from UV flash. Keep a fire extinguisher accessible.

Q 10. Is the Draper 74343 in stock for fast delivery?

A. Yes — the Draper 74343 is UK stocked for fast despatch. Check current availability at PartsForMachines.com.
