Strong Hand Tools, Grasshopper Welding Finger, AGH230, Pull Force: 35 lbs

I paid exactly what was shown in the photo when I purchased it. I'm not sure if the magnet placement was the issue, but the force of the spring overpowered the magnets, and the device kept falling off the pipe. I think the spring tension should be adjustable in some way, or a much longer rod should be used. It's a great concept, but it didn't work out in this instance.

How many times have you tack welded a few small pieces only to have them come out slightly off due to the awkward way you had to fit them together? Well, it happens to me all the time. I came across these and decided to try them out. WOW, it's like having a third hand, and I'm not sure how I managed before it. When doing art/craft welding, you frequently have smallish pieces that are difficult to fit together and hold in place while being tacked. The welder put a lot of thought into the weighted tip and magnetic base. Many problems are solved as a result of this. br>br>I liked it so much that I ordered the "Pro model" (which is only $26) without the V-neck. There are two brass prongs instead of a magnet base, but there is a small clamp in the front and a ground strap in the back. It's simple to properly ground a smallish item with this tool.

Strong Hand's product is well-made, and the adjustable length of the holder arm is a nice feature. br>Excellent for holding down/on to smaller welding parts. The small brass tip will not obstruct your view. br>A 20-pound holding force is provided by a strong pivoting magnetic base. br>br>You could probably make your own third hand/hold down clamp, but for the price, it's hard to beat all the features this Strong Hand tool has to offer.

I would not recommend this product because the magnetic hold is very weak and the hold strength is practically useless. I attempted to hold a small bracket that weighed only about 4-ounces. 5 ounces vertically and it would not even begin to hold I clearly show items weighing much more in the photos right now I find this useless and it is one of the biggest disappointments I have ever seen in terms of a tool. It would be more appropriate for pinning notes to the refrigerator.

While browsing, I came across this tool and thought to myself, "Wow, this is cool. " "How come this wasn't there when I needed it?" Anyone who works in fabrication or metal knows how important it is to have all of the necessary holding fixtures to keep pieces in place while tacking. The base can be magnetically attached to circular or flat ferrous metal materials of any kind. The price is well worth it, and the magnetic base allows it to be easily stored under a welding bench or?.

For long-term use, choose a high-quality product. Magnets with a lot of power Adjustable in a flash br>br>I'm quite pleased with this small hold down; many other hold downs are simply too large or bulky for some of the small items I TIG weld. I can quickly adjust to the item being welded because the down pressure appears to be just about right. This may appear to be an unnecessary extravagance, but it is a very useful tool.

He learned a long time ago not to hold it (just kidding again)br>br>This is one of my favorite welding finger/magnets, and I wish I had purchased it years ago.
