Product Information

Full details

The Sealey Magnetic Quick Clamp Set is designed for professional welders and hobbyist fabricators who require reliable, hands-free workpiece stability during assembly. These clamps offer the significant benefit of precise alignment through integrated angled edges, making them essential for high-accuracy metalwork. However, users should note that they are strictly intended for use with ferrous metals, as non-magnetic materials will not secure to the clamping surface.

FAQs

Will these work on stainless steel?

These clamps only work on ferrous metals. Most stainless steel is non-magnetic and will not stick to these clamps.

How many clamps come in the set?

The MQC2 set includes two individual magnetic clamps.

Can I use these for soldering?

While they are intended for welding, they can be used for any ferrous metal assembly task where magnetic attraction is sufficient to hold the pieces.

Do I need to clean the clamps?

Yes, cleaning the magnetic surfaces after each use ensures maximum grip strength and prevents debris buildup.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

The clamps are intended to help align and hold workpieces for tacking; they are not rated for heavy-duty lifting or load-bearing applications.

Troubleshooting

Clamp does not hold the workpiece.

Verify the material is ferrous (iron or steel). Also, ensure there is no thick coating of paint, oil, or debris between the clamp and the metal.

Workpiece shifts during welding.

The workpiece may be too heavy for the clamp's magnetic strength. Use additional clamps or supplemental support if the project exceeds the clamp's holding capacity.

Metal filings are stuck to the clamp surface.

Use a heavy-duty shop rag or a piece of adhesive tape to lift and remove accumulated metal dust from the magnetic face.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides reliable hands-free support for precision welding.
  • Angled edges facilitate accurate alignment at specific angles.
  • Strong magnetic force ensures stability for various ferrous metals.
  • Compact and lightweight for easy storage and maneuverability.

Cons

  • Compatible only with ferrous metals (will not work on aluminum or stainless steel).
  • Not intended for heavy-duty load-bearing structural support.
  • Magnetic surface can attract metal filings and debris, requiring frequent cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the Sealey Magnetic Quick Clamps, simply place the clamp against your steel or iron pieces. The magnetism engages immediately upon contact with ferrous material. For maintenance, it is crucial to wipe the clamps clean with a dry cloth after every use to remove metal shavings or welding spatter that may accumulate. Store the clamps in a dry, cool area away from sensitive electronics, as the internal magnets are strong. Never submerge the clamps in liquid or expose them to extreme heat, as this may degrade the magnetic properties over time.
