The electrode handle is is used to hold the various electrodes required throughout the plating process. Selecting the best electrode for the job is very important The Electrode Handle will hold all of our rod-shaped electrodes including the stainless steel electrode, which should be used for chrome stripping and cleaning only, the carbon electrode which can be used for plating all metals and the platinum electrode which can also be used for plating all metals.Using stainless steel electrodes for activating or any plating process can result in plating of bad quality
