Magswitch finned magnetic ground clamp, 40
Available
The Magswitch finned magnetic ground clamp gives a welder an instant ground on a flat surface or a pipe. To place it on a clean work surface, turn it on and start welding. There is no hunting for a ground point and no tacking on tabs for big sheet or pipe jobs.
It is sold as a 300 Amp, 600 Amp or 800 Amp model. The magnet is switched on and off by hand, needs no electrical power, and switching it off lets you wipe away metal shavings. The bigger the model, the stronger the hold: magnet strength is 40kg on the 300, 89kg on the 600 and 136kg on the 800. Magnet strength is the force needed to pull the magnet off clean, flat, thick steel. It is not a safe working load.
