Arc welding accessory AWTools AW50201, weight 595 g

AWTools AW50201 arc welding accessory is a magnetic holding aid designed to support welding, soldering and assembly operations. The unit weighs 595 g and features strong ferrite magnets enclosed in a riveted steel housing with a powder-coated finish. It is intended as a consumable or supporting component for workshops and field use, complementing welding torches and rigs to keep workpieces aligned and allow the operator to work with both hands free.

Advantages

The device combines high magnetic holding force with a durable steel, riveted housing that protects the ferrite magnets and resists workshop wear. Its powder-coated surface provides corrosion resistance and a clean finish, while the compact weight of 595 g makes it easy to position and reposition on ferrous materials. The design enables stable clamping in a plane or at set angles without requiring manual holding, improving workflow efficiency during arc welding and related tasks.

Suitable for

• Holding steel or other ferromagnetic workpieces in position during arc welding
• Fixture support for soldering and brazing operations
• Line-marking, layout and assembly tasks where hands-free holding is required
• Workshop and on-site fabrication where temporary magnetic fixturing is needed

Key specifications

• Weight: 595 g
• Magnet type: ferrite magnets
• Housing: riveted steel construction
• Finish: powder coated for corrosion resistance
• Primary function: magnetic holding/fixture aid for ferrous materials

How to use

Place the magnetic accessory on a clean, ferromagnetic surface of the workpiece so that the magnetic face contacts the metal. Position the unit to hold pieces in the desired plane or at the required angle before initiating welding or assembly. Ensure the powder-coated housing contacts do not obstruct the joint area. Reposition as needed by lifting and relocating the device; avoid impact or dropping to protect the riveted housing and magnets.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective use, keep the magnetic surfaces free of heavy debris and scale to maintain maximum holding force. Use this accessory only on ferrous materials and avoid exposing it to excessive heat; prolonged exposure to welding arc temperatures can reduce magnetic performance. Store in a dry environment to preserve the powder-coated finish and inspect the rivets and housing periodically for wear or damage.
