stud welder attachment

Hello- I'm new here so I hope in the right forum. I remember an article in a magazine (can't find it now) about an attachment for a MIG welder. It held a stud, ready to weld, to attach it to a body panel to pull out a dent. I think it came with a slide hammer with some kind of cogged wheel to grab on to the stud quickly and release quickly. Been looking for a while on the web but haven't come up with anything. Anybody here know who makes it or sells it?

Thanks for the reply. Actually, what I'm looking for is a tip for a regular mig welder that screws on to the end of the welder and works as a stud welder.
The one on Ebay looks like as good a deal that I'll ever find, but I see he only sells to the US. We don't have a Harbour Frieght here.

I have had good results tack welding large (unplated) washers around the dent and using a slide hammer with a hook on it to gently ease the dent out

Start from the outside and work around toward the middle
