Abstract
A plastic welder has a rod passage that extends between a rod insert that receives a plastic rod. One or more engagement wheels frictionally engage the plastic rod within the plastic welder. A user-operated handle rotates at least one of the one or more engagement wheels in a first direction to advance the plastic rod along the rod passage. A heated barrel heats the plastic rod to above a melting point of the plastic rod. The heated barrel has a nozzle. The drive mechanism advances the plastic rod such that molten plastic is extruded from the nozzle.
