Arc welding accessory AWTools AW50210 — welding accessory, weight 291 g

AWTools AW50210 is a compact arc welding accessory weighing 291 g, designed to assist metalworking tasks in workshops and field conditions. Equipped with strong ferrite magnets housed in a steel, riveted casing with a powder-coated finish, this accessory stabilizes and holds workpieces during welding, soldering, line-marking and assembly operations. Its small size and magnetic grip allow the welder to position parts precisely while keeping both hands free for torch or tool control.

Advantages

The steel, riveted housing provides durable protection for the internal magnets and resists mechanical wear during regular use. Strong ferrite magnets deliver reliable holding power on ferrous materials, while the powder-coated surface reduces corrosion and improves grip. Lightweight construction (291 g) ensures easy portability and convenient use on vertical or horizontal surfaces without adding significant bulk to the tool kit.

Suitable for

• Holding metal pieces in place during arc welding and soldering
• Aligning components for tack welds and final assembly
• Line-marking and layout tasks on steel parts
• Temporary fixturing in fabrication, repair and maintenance work

Key specifications

• Weight: 291 g
• Magnet type: ferrite magnets
• Housing: steel with riveted construction
• Finish: powder-coated surface for corrosion resistance
• Function: magnetic holding and positioning for welding and assembly

How to use

Place the AWTools AW50210 on a clean ferrous surface adjacent to the joint or component to be held. Ensure the contact areas are free of heavy rust, scale, paint or debris to maximise magnetic grip. Position the workpieces in the desired alignment; the magnet will secure them so the operator can perform tack welds, continuous welds, soldering or layout marking. Remove the accessory by sliding it off the workpiece or lifting at an edge; avoid sudden lateral impacts to preserve the riveted housing and magnet integrity.

Usage recommendations

Use the accessory only on ferrous metals for effective holding force, and avoid exposing it to prolonged high heat from welding arcs which can reduce magnet performance. Keep the powder-coated housing clean and inspect rivets and magnet surfaces regularly for wear or damage. When working on critical assemblies, confirm alignment before final welding and remove the magnet from the joint area during long, high-temperature welds to prevent demagnetization.
