Abstract:
A weld cap changing tool for removing weld caps from weld shanks includes an elongated shaft portion, a first weld cap removing portion that includes two prongs extending away from the shaft portion to free distal ends, the two prongs of the first weld cap removing portion being separated by a first characteristic gap, and a second weld cap removing portion that includes two prongs extending away from the shaft portion to free distal ends, the two prongs of the second weld cap removing portion being separated by a second characteristic gap. When the weld cap changing tool is in a first engagement position, the first weld cap removing portion engages the first weld cap and, and when in a second engagement position different from the first engagement position, the second weld cap removing portion engages the second weld cap of a different size than the first weld cap.
