Product Information

Full details

The AB Tools 700 Amp Screw Type Earth Ground Clamp is an essential accessory for professional welders and hobbyists alike who perform Mig, Tig, or arc welding. It provides a secure, reliable electrical connection through a robust screw-driven jaw mechanism, ensuring stability during high-amperage tasks. While this clamp offers heavy-duty durability with its cast body and bronze lower jaw, users should be aware that the manual screw-tightening process takes slightly longer to adjust than traditional spring-loaded clamps.

FAQs

Can this be used for TIG welding?

Yes, it is suitable for TIG, MIG, and arc welding applications up to 700 amps.

What is the benefit of the screw-type over a spring clamp?

The screw-type provides a much more secure and consistent pressure that does not degrade as the workpiece expands due to heat.

How do I attach the cable to this clamp?

The cable is secured using two large grub screws located on the body of the clamp, providing a robust electrical connection.

Is this clamp safe to use on painted metal?

No, you must grind the paint away to bare metal to ensure a proper ground connection for the welding arc.

Can I replace the bronze jaw?

The bronze jaw is an integrated part of the clamp assembly and is not typically sold as a separate field-replaceable part.

Troubleshooting

Poor arc stability or intermittent welding

Clean the area where the clamp makes contact with the workpiece to remove rust, paint, or slag. Ensure the grub screws securing the cable are fully tightened.

Clamp getting excessively hot

Check that the cable connection is tight and free of corrosion. Ensure the clamp is not overloaded beyond its 700-amp capacity.

Screw mechanism is difficult to turn

Apply a small amount of high-temperature lubricant to the screw threads and remove any metal debris trapped in the mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High 700-amp power rating covers most welding needs
  • Screw-type design prevents clamp walk or accidental detachment
  • Bronze lower jaw ensures excellent electrical conductivity
  • Ergonomic, heat-resistant rubber handle insulation
  • Sturdy cast metal construction for professional durability

Cons

  • Slower to attach/detach compared to spring-loaded clamps
  • Requires manual adjustment for varying material thicknesses
  • Heavier than standard consumer-grade clamps

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the clamp, strip the end of your welding cable to expose the copper conductor and insert it fully into the cable entry port. Tighten the two grub screws evenly using an appropriate hex key until the cable is firmly locked in place. Regularly inspect the bronze jaw for weld splatter or oxidation, which can be removed with a wire brush to maintain a clean electrical path. Ensure the rubber insulation remains intact; if cracked or frayed, replace the handle grips immediately to maintain safety standards.
