This 6Pcs welding accessories kit bundles a slag hammer, welding pliers, a stainless wire brush and a pair of double-layer gloves into one low-cost starter set. It is worth considering as a beginner cleanup kit for stick or flux-core work. Do not rely on the gloves as your main welding gloves, and skip the kit if you already own decent versions of each tool.

What is in the kit and who it suits
Stick welding and flux-core welding leave a layer of slag that has to be chipped away, and the weld often needs brushing. This kit covers that cleanup job: a hammer to chip slag, pliers to handle hot work and cut wire, and a brush to polish the bead.
It suits hobbyists, students and anyone building a first toolbox. Experienced welders often upgrade the pieces individually, but a combined set is cheaper to start with.
The tools and what to check
Welding hammer
The listing describes a carbon steel head with a point on one end and a tapered side. The point reaches into narrow grooves while the flat edge breaks slag. A coil spring handle absorbs some shock. Check the head is firmly attached before use.
Welding pliers
The pliers have a center jaw design for gripping and cutting wire, and the listing also mentions a concave-convex edge that can double as a hammer. They are useful for holding warm work, but they are not a replacement for locking pliers when you need a firm clamp.
Wire brush
Stainless bristles clean beads and slag residue, which is a sound choice, and a wooden handle keeps your hand away from the work. Use it on cooled welds only.
Gloves
The listing calls them double-layer protective gloves, but it does not clearly describe the material. Real welding gloves are leather, such as cowhide for MIG and stick or goatskin for TIG, and they should be rated for welding. Use these for handling cleanup, not as a replacement for proper welding gloves.
Pros and limitations
Pros
- Covers the basic cleanup tools in one purchase.
- Stainless steel brush bristles are suitable for steel and stainless cleanup.
- Pliers add wire cutting and gripping.
Limitations
- Generic tools vary in quality, so inspect fit and finish.
- The gloves are unlikely to match leather welding gloves for heat and spatter protection.
- Not a complete welding PPE set: you still need a helmet, jacket or sleeves and eye protection.
How to use the kit safely
- Wear safety glasses or a face shield when chipping slag, since fragments fly.
- Let the weld cool a little, then tap the slag from the side with the hammer.
- Brush the bead with the wire brush to remove remaining residue.
- Use the pliers to hold hot work, not your hand or the gloves.
- Inspect handles and the hammer head for looseness before each session.
Keep flammable materials away from sparks, and ventilate the work area. Hot slag can bounce, so keep the area clear.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a welding hammer do?
A welding or chipping hammer breaks the slag crust off stick and flux-core welds. The pointed end reaches grooves and the chisel or flat end breaks slag from the surface. Always wear eye protection because slag fragments fly.
Can I weld with the gloves in this kit?
Check the material first. The listing describes double-layer protective gloves but does not clearly state leather or a welding rating. Real welding gloves are leather and designed for heat and spatter, so treat these as handling gloves unless confirmed.
Is this kit good for beginners?
It covers the basic cleanup tools at one price, which is useful for beginners. You still need a welding helmet, proper welding gloves, protective clothing and eye protection. Treat it as a starter cleanup kit, not complete safety gear.
Can I use the wire brush on stainless?
The stainless bristles are appropriate for cleaning stainless welds, since carbon steel bristles can leave contamination. Use a dedicated stainless brush on stainless parts and keep it separate from brushes used on carbon steel.
Conclusion
The 6Pcs welding accessories kit is an affordable way to get slag-cleanup tools into your toolbox. Treat the gloves as extras, and check the listing for the latest contents and price.
