A wiggling positive output stud seems normal, right?

…RIGHT?

Yeah, no. 😂

This Lincoln POWER MIG 210 came into the shop because it was sparking from the positive output stud.

Gerry: “Let’s see…”

one wiggle later

“I don’t think that’s right.”

Case closed.

Turns out, the broken part that was VERY clearly broken was, in fact, the problem.

Luckily, Gerry had it handled and knew exactly what this bad boy needed to get back up and running.

If your welder is sparking, wiggling, or doing something that makes you go “hmmm…” bring it in. We’ll figure it out.

How many juice boxes does it take to get ready for back-to-school season?

Apparently, 322.

Yes, we counted the juice boxes too. 😂

Curious about another donation total? Drop it in the comments. At this point, Marketing probably has the number.


That’s how many our Calgary team collected during our Back-to-School Donation Drive for Mamas for Mamas.

Add in backpacks, notebooks, pencils, crayons, snacks, lunch bags and a LOT more, and our little friendly department competition turned into something pretty amazing.

The final count?

4,206 individual items donated. ❤️

Welder Service may have earned the bragging rights, but our entire Calgary team helped make it happen.

Thank you to everyone who donated and helped us give back to families in our community.

Throwback to 2012 and a crane install that required a little creativity 👏

Kristian supplied this rural Alberta facility with two custom overhead cranes for a new building project.

The problem? There was not enough headroom inside the building to install the crane using a conventional mobile crane setup.

So we worked with the general contractor to leave a section of the roof open, allowing our team to position a mobile crane outside and carefully lift the girder into place through the opening.

Not every installation follows the standard playbook. Sometimes experience, planning, and a bit of problem-solving make all the difference.

Looking at adding a new or refurbished overhead crane to your facility? Contact our teams in Calgary, Edmonton, or Saskatoon.

Think the setup was the most important part? Here's the real test. ⚡

Before this Hypertherm Powermax105 leaves our shop, every function is put to the test. We power it up, verify everything is operating correctly, and make a few test cuts to ensure it's performing exactly as it should.

It's the final step before delivery and one more way we make sure your machine is ready to get to work from day one.

Because when you buy from Kristian Electric, you deserve more than a machine. You deserve the confidence that it's been tested and is ready to perform.

Another big shoutout to our shop team for the attention to detail that goes into every machine we prepare.

Throwback to 1993 and a familiar sight from Kristian Electric history 👏

Before service trucks took over the fleet, the GMC Vandura vans put in the work.

They hauled welders, hoists, tools, parts, and technicians from the shop to the field for years, helping keep our customers up and running.

As our company grew, we gradually made the switch to service trucks to carry more tools, more parts, and better support our field teams.

But these old vans will always have a place in the Kristian memory book.

I mean... they did look pretty snazzy 😎
