foot pedal in tough spots

[tnc110]

Just curious as to how some of you use your foot pedal when you cant sit on a stool and weld on the table. I recently had to repair a boat out drive and had to lay on the floor to get to where I needed to weld...foot pedal was tricky to use.

Mite sound corny but i put Velcro on the bottom of the foot pedal box and and glue the other Velcro to a concrete brick . lay the brick were i can get my foot to it and stick the foot box to it waa laaa works great

sorta dont under stand know what lift ark is but it dose not control amps when welding aluminum or controls amperage . i use the brick pedal method when welding upside down on pontoon boat pontoon couldn't weld them being so thin with out a foot pedal

I had to use the remote control on the torch this weekend to weld up some Al brackets, It worked fine, but not my cup of tea...much rather have a pedal. (pedal is broke, waiting on a replacement)


Anybody squeeze it between their legs/knees?

Practicality might depend on the size and shape of the pedal, but what about strapping it to your foot? Then you could just use any solid object in leg reach to press against.
