Nice - not expensive either.

Very good product. Be sure to watch getting too much heat next to them, as it can harm the magnets.

Is that a cannon?

Strong Hand Tools stuff is usually good to very good.

I learned that magnets can make your arc unstable, and heat can damage magnets.

So I am careful to just use them for positioning for initial tacking.

And then a system of welding prevents warping.

That said, those are great tools. I may have to get some.

I have had a couple of those for awhile. They are really handy. I hadn't thought of using them the way that video shows though.

I bought a couple Besseys and one Wilton clamp before I discovered Strong Hand - now I'm up to 12 each of the 8" and 12" 1200 lb. 4n1's - I've done a couple projects where I needed a couple more, that's about the ONLY time I reach for the "name" brands.

I was an Enco customer before MSC "absorbed" it, still get Enco's lower prices (sorta) so the $50 clamps come to me (free shipping) for $20-25 each. Still adds up, but slower :thumbup:

The often heard comment about "can't have too many clamps" is even MORE true if you work ALONE like I do - those 4n1 clamps come with a "step over" adapter, pipe adapter (like their magnets Ryan mentioned, but without magnets :headscrat

) - they also REVERSE to become a spreader. VERY versatile.

Oh, and no I'm NOT a salesman, just a "happy clamper" :bounce:

A few examples of "happy clamping" - outer half of my container roof is in 3 identical modules - bolted together while hanging from the inner half of the roof, then swung up as one unit. All 3 modules done on jack stands on gravel, all dimensions and planes accurate to less than 1/16", most less than 1/32".

Helped to have a few "shims" and a Wixey digital angle cube, but all were pre-drilled and bolted up almost like I knew what I wuz doin'

Strong hand tools make some of my favorite set up and fixture tools.

我没有做太多的钢铁工作，所以磁铁对我的用途有限，但是当您可以使用它们时，它们很好。

Now, if they can get the ones that work on stainless and aluminum then we'll be talkin!
