Arc welding accessory AWTools AW50202 – accessory for arc welding, weight 1.06 kg

AWTools AW50202 is an arc welding accessory designed to assist manual arc welding operations by holding metal parts in place while freeing the welder’s hands. The unit weighs 1.06 kg and features a compact steel housing with a powder-coated finish. Strong ferrite magnets, secured within a riveted casing, provide reliable magnetic holding force for positioning and securing components during welding, soldering, assembly or marking tasks.

Advantages

The accessory combines a durable steel, riveted housing with ferrite magnets to provide steady holding power without adding significant bulk. Its powder-coated surface protects against corrosion and workshop wear. By enabling hands-free operation, the AWTools AW50202 improves positioning precision and reduces the need for temporary clamps or fixtures. Lightweight construction makes the tool suitable for both bench and field use where portability is required.

Suitable for

• Holding steel and ferromagnetic components in a plane for arc welding or soldering
• Positioning parts at fixed right angles or specific orientations during assembly
• Stabilizing pieces for line-marking, layout work or tack welding
• Temporary fixturing when using portable welding equipment on-site

Key specifications

• Weight: 1.06 kg
• Magnet type: ferrite magnets for magnetic holding
• Housing: steel, riveted construction
• Finish: powder-coated surface for corrosion resistance
• Function: magnetic positioning and hands-free holding of ferromagnetic workpieces

How to use

Place the magnetic accessory on clean ferromagnetic surfaces to ensure full contact between the magnet and the workpiece. Use it to hold components together in the desired plane or angle while performing arc welding, tack welding, soldering or assembly tasks. Ensure the powder-coated housing is in contact with the workpiece only as designed and avoid placing the device near sensitive electronic equipment. Remove the accessory by sliding or lifting it off the workpiece once the joint is stable or the operation is complete.

Usage recommendations

For optimal holding performance, clean rust, scale and paint from contact areas before use. Keep fingers clear of magnetic contact areas to avoid pinching. Use the accessory only on ferromagnetic materials and avoid exposing it to excessive heat; prolonged direct exposure to welding arcs or temperatures above recommended working limits for ferrite magnets may reduce magnetic strength.
