The Strong Hand Tools Fully Articulated Arm Rest is a professional-grade accessory designed for welders and fabricators who require steady hand control over long production sessions. By supporting your extended arm, this tool significantly reduces muscle fatigue and improves weld quality through increased stability. While it offers exceptional versatility on steel surfaces, users should note that it requires a clean, flat ferromagnetic mounting point to utilize the integrated magnetic base effectively.

No, the magnetic base requires a ferromagnetic (steel) surface to function.
It arrives with the main components ready to mount; minor adjustments are required to suit your specific reach and height.
It is designed to support the weight of a welder's arm and hand during precision tasks; it is not intended to support heavy tools or full body weight.
The magnet is designed for mounting stability, but as with all magnets in a welding environment, keep it a reasonable distance from the immediate arc path to prevent magnetic arc blow.
The arm cup is designed for longevity, but should you experience extreme wear, contact Strong Hand Tools support for replacement parts.
Check the underside of the base for metal shavings, dust, or debris and clean with a dry cloth.
Tighten the adjustment screws at the articulated joints to increase resistance.
Adjust the two leveling bolts on the base plate until the vertical support column sits perfectly plumb.
To set up the arm rest, place the magnetic base on a clean steel surface and ensure the leveling bolts are tightened until the column is perpendicular to your workspace. Periodically check the tension on the articulated joints to ensure they do not become loose over time.
Compatibility is primarily centered on steel surfaces; avoid mounting on surfaces covered in heavy debris, rust, or paint, as these can interfere with the magnetic pull. To care for your tool, keep the magnetic base free of metal filings using a brush or compressed air, and occasionally wipe down the articulated joints with a light machine oil if movement becomes stiff.
