Product Information
Full details
This guide is for welders and metal fabricators who need a reliable way to hold metal pieces at precise angles during assembly. The key benefit is hands-free, accurate positioning for tack welding and other assembly tasks. A potential caveat is that the 25lb strength is best suited for lighter materials and smaller frames. This product offers a pack of 10 compact, arrow-designed welding magnets that provide strong holding power for ferrous materials at 45, 90, and 135-degree angles, acting as an extra hand for efficient and precise work.

FAQs
What is the primary use for these welding magnets?
They are designed to hold ferrous metal pieces together at specific angles (45, 90, 135 degrees) for tack welding and assembly, acting as an extra hand.
How many magnets are included in this pack?
This listing is for a pack of 10 welding magnets.
What is the holding strength of each magnet?
Each magnet has a holding strength of 25lbs.
Can these magnets hold aluminum or stainless steel?
These magnets are designed for ferrous metals like iron and regular steel. They will have little to no holding power on aluminum or most grades of stainless steel.
What are the approximate dimensions of one magnet?
The approximate dimensions are 120mm x 83mm x 14mm.
Can I use these magnets to hold both sheets and tubes?
Yes, they are designed to hold both sheet metal and tubes at the specified angles.
Are these magnets suitable for very heavy welding jobs?
The 25lb version is best suited for lighter and smaller frames. For heavier jobs, you would need magnets with a higher weight capacity.
Troubleshooting
Magnet not holding strongly
Ensure the surface of the magnet and the workpiece are clean and free of dust, oil, or metal filings. Verify that the workpiece is made of a ferrous metal.
Difficulty positioning magnet at desired angle
The compact arrow design is intended for versatility; ensure adequate clearance around the workpiece for proper placement at 45, 90, or 135 degrees.
Holding power seems insufficient for the task
Confirm the weight of the object does not exceed the magnet's 25lb rating. For heavier items, consider using larger, higher-capacity magnets.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides multiple magnets in a single purchase.
- Offers versatile holding angles (45, 90, 135 degrees).
- Compact design for easy handling and storage.
- Assists in achieving accurate right-angle welds.
- Acts as a helpful 'extra hand' during assembly.
Cons
- 25lb holding power may be insufficient for very heavy or large components.
- Primarily designed for ferrous metals only.
- Requires cleaning to maintain optimal magnetic strength.
- Not suitable for holding non-metallic materials.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. Simply place the magnet on a clean, flat ferrous surface. The magnetic force will engage automatically.
Compatibility: These magnets are designed for use with ferrous metals such as steel and iron. They are not effective on non-ferrous metals like aluminum, brass, or copper, nor are they suitable for plastic or wood.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the magnetic surfaces clean and free from metal shavings or debris. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid exposing the magnets to extreme heat or corrosive environments, which could degrade their magnetic strength over time. Store them away from sensitive electronic devices.
