Resistance welding over a lip, in a corner, or in a box might be a perfect application for a double bend electrode.

Double Bend Sketch

Above is a sketch showing an example of a double bend electrode welding in a tight area.

Double bends can be water cooled to increase life.  Double bends come in many offsets and sizes as shown below.
