Strong Hand Tools Welding Clamps, Pipe Fit-Up Clamps, Magnetic Squares & Fixturing Accessories

Strong Hand Tools is an American welding and fabrication tooling brand producing pipe fit-up clamps, magnetic squares, adjustable-force magnets, angle clamping tools, welding table accessories, modular third-hand clamps, TIG torch rests, wrist and arm rests, and magnetic cable management tools for professional fabricators, pipe fitters, boilermakers, and structural steel workers.

Strong Hand’s product philosophy centres on the insight that accurate tack welding is the single most important determinant of finished weld quality — a component held perfectly square and plumb at the tack stage will weld true regardless of distortion forces, while a poorly-tacked component that is out of position cannot be corrected by welding technique alone.

Strong Hand’s magnetic squares, adjustable magnets, angle clamps, and pipe fit-up clamps address this fundamental need for fast, accurate part positioning and holding without requiring a second operator or improvised jig to maintain component alignment during the tack sequence.

The Adjust-O Magnet series provides switchable magnetic force — allowing the magnet to be positioned freely on the workpiece before switching full holding force, rather than fighting the full magnet pull from first contact — while the Force Adjust-O Magnet allows the magnetic force to be dialled to the exact level needed for each application without releasing the magnet entirely.

For fabricators operating welding table systems, Strong Hand’s welding table base mount clamps and third-hand modular accessories convert a flat table into a fully-configurable fixturing system for repeatable component positioning without dedicated jigs.

Strong Hand Magnetic Squares, Magnets & Pipe Clamps

Strong Hand’s magnetic fixturing range holds components accurately for tacking without a second operator. Available now at AIMS Industrial — order the setup tools that pay for themselves on the first job.

• Strong Hand Force Adjust-O Magnet Square: A magnetic welding square with adjustable magnetic force for positioning and holding steel components at 90 degrees during tack welding. The Force Adjust-O mechanism allows the operator to dial the magnetic holding force from minimum to maximum, providing just enough force to hold lightweight sheet components without over-magnetising thin sections, while delivering full force for heavy plate and pipe setup. The 90-degree geometry ensures true square assembly without measuring at each tack — critical for structural steel joints, box section fabrication, and bracket welding where angular accuracy directly affects the finished assembly alignment.
• Strong Hand Adjust-O 90 Dual Switch Magnet: A dual-switch 90-degree fixturing magnet with independent front and back face switches for positioning components against both faces simultaneously. The dual-switch design allows one face to be engaged for positioning before the second face is activated to lock the component against the perpendicular surface, making it faster and more controllable than single-switch magnets for corner and butt joint tacking setups. An essential tool for T-joint, corner, and box fabrication where both faces of the joint require magnetic support simultaneously.
• Strong Hand Adjustable Magnet: An adjustable-angle magnetic fixturing tool for holding steel components at variable angles for tacking and alignment without a fixed 90-degree constraint. The adjustable geometry accommodates bevel joints, mitred connections, and compound-angle fabrication that falls outside the standard 90-degree positions covered by fixed-angle magnetic squares. Adjustable between the minimum and maximum angle range with a locking mechanism that holds the selected angle rigidly during the weld tack sequence.
• Strong Hand Corner Magnet 60–90° 14kg Pull Force — 2-Pack: A pair of corner fixturing magnets with switchable 60-degree and 90-degree positions and 14kg pull force each for holding steel at acute and right-angle joints. The two-magnet pack provides simultaneous magnetic support at both sides of a corner joint, maintaining perpendicularity without manual holding while tack welds are applied. At 14kg pull force per magnet, the pair handles light to medium plate and angle iron without slipping during the heat cycle of tacking.
• Strong Hand Snake Magnet 305mm Cable Clamp with Adjustable V-Pad: A flexible-neck 305mm magnetic snake with an adjustable V-pad at the tip for holding round bar, pipe, and tube in position against a ferrous surface during welding and assembly. The flexible neck positions the V-pad at any angle and orientation, allowing pipe and round stock to be supported from any direction without requiring a dedicated pipe support stand. The magnetic base locks to the welding table or any steel surface for hands-free pipe and tube positioning.
• Strong Hand Pipe Fit-Up Clamp: A mechanical pipe fit-up clamp for aligning and holding pipe sections butt-to-butt for socket weld and butt weld fit-up without relying on magnetic force that may be affected by the magnetic state of the pipe material. The mechanical clamp grips the outside diameter of both pipe sections and draws them into axial alignment for gap setting and tacking, maintaining alignment through the tack sequence regardless of pipe weight and magnetic permeability. Essential for stainless, duplex, and chrome-moly pipe fit-up where magnetic fixturing tools may not provide reliable attraction.
• Strong Hand Fixed V-Pad Adjustable Pipe Pliers: Adjustable pipe pliers with a fixed V-pad jaw for gripping, positioning, and holding pipe and round bar during fit-up and tacking. The V-pad jaw profile provides a stable three-point contact on round sections, preventing rotation during tacking and maintaining the pipe in the correct rotational orientation for socket weld alignment and branch connection positioning.

Strong Hand Welding Table Clamps, Arm Rests & Positioning Accessories

Strong Hand’s welding table and ergonomic accessories complete the professional welding setup. Order from AIMS Industrial and build a fixturing system that works every shift.

• Strong Hand HAS40 Welding Table Base Mount Third Hand Modular Clamp: A welding table base mount for the Strong Hand Third Hand modular clamp system, providing a secure, removable mounting point on strong-back or slotted welding tables. The modular system accepts a range of clamp heads, support arms, and positioning attachments that can be configured and reconfigured for each new job without permanent modification to the table. The base mount secures firmly in standard welding table slot patterns and releases cleanly for rapid repositioning between setup changes.
• Strong Hand HAS42 Universal Base Mount Third Hand Modular Clamp: A universal base mount for the Strong Hand Third Hand system with a wider mounting compatibility than the HAS40 for use on tables, angle iron frames, and custom fixture plates that do not follow standard welding table slot patterns. The universal mount attaches by clamping to the table edge or flat face rather than into a slot, extending the Third Hand system to any flat ferrous or non-ferrous work surface.
• Strong Hand ARW16 Adjustable Wrist Rest Welding Support: An adjustable wrist rest and support arm that attaches to the welding table or workbench to support the welder’s gun arm during TIG and MIG welding of small precision components requiring steady, controlled torch movement. The wrist rest reduces arm fatigue and torch tremor during fine TIG welding passes, improving bead quality and consistency for intricate welds on thin sections and detailed fabrication where torch steadiness directly affects the weld profile.
• Strong Hand ARA18 Adjustable Articulated Arm Rest Welding Support: An articulated arm rest support with a pivoting arm that follows the welder’s arm movement during TIG welding passes across a component, maintaining consistent support contact without the operator repositioning the rest between weld runs. The articulated design tracks the arm through the welding pass, preventing the support from creating a pivot point that would restrict the welder’s torch travel range. Particularly valued by TIG welders working on stainless and aluminium fabrication where weld appearance quality requires sustained torch steadiness throughout long passes.
• Strong Hand TIG Torch Rest with Cable Hanger: A welding table-mounted TIG torch rest and cable hanger for safely resting the torch between passes without placing the hot tungsten on the table surface or draping the torch lead across the work area. The torch rest holds the torch clear of any contact surface to prevent tungsten contamination from accidental contact and organises the torch lead off the table to prevent it interfering with component positioning and movement. A simple but valuable addition to any TIG welding setup.
• Strong Hand Torpedo Magnetic Level — 3 Vials 178mm: A 178mm magnetic torpedo level with three vials for level, plumb, and 45-degree checking during structural steel setup, pipe installation, and welding fixture positioning. The magnetic base holds the level on steel components without manual holding, freeing both hands for alignment adjustment. The compact 178mm length fits in confined structural steel pockets and angle iron frames where a standard box level cannot be positioned for the reading direction required.
• Strong Hand Magnetic Grasshopper: A flexible-arm magnetic clamp holder for positioning clamps, tools, and accessories at variable angles on ferrous work surfaces. The Grasshopper’s flexible neck positions the clamp attachment at any required angle and orientation, providing a stable third-hand tool holder that frees the operator’s hands for welding and adjustment operations during complex multi-piece setups.
