Product Information
Full details
This 6-pack of AB Tools 25lb welding magnets is designed for professional welders and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable way to hold ferrous materials during fabrication. They offer a strong, hands-free solution for tacking frames, holding components at precise angles, and separating sheets, acting as an indispensable 'extra hand'. A key consideration is their 25lb weight capacity, meaning they are best suited for lighter and smaller frames or components.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the weight capacity of each magnet?
Each magnet has a holding capacity of approximately 25 pounds (lbs).
Can these magnets be used on aluminum?
No, these magnets are only effective on ferrous metals, such as steel and iron. They will not attract aluminum.
What angles can these magnets hold materials at?
These magnets can hold materials at 45, 90, and 135-degree angles.
Are these magnets suitable for heavy-duty welding projects?
They are best suited for lighter and smaller frames or components due to their 25lb holding capacity. For heavier work, stronger magnets would be required.
How should I clean the magnets?
Wipe the magnetic surfaces with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure they are free from metal shavings and dust for optimal performance.
What materials are the magnets made of?
They feature a compact arrow design with double-riveted steel construction.
Can one magnet hold two pieces of metal at the same time?
Yes, the double-sided holding capability allows them to hold two ferrous materials simultaneously.
Troubleshooting
Magnet not holding firmly
Ensure the metal surface and the magnet's face are clean and free of debris. Verify the material is ferrous and that the weight of the workpiece does not exceed the 25lb limit.
Difficulty separating magnets
Slide the magnets apart rather than pulling directly. If stuck, try twisting them while pulling apart. Ensure no metal shavings are trapped between them.
Magnetic strength seems reduced
Check for exposure to high temperatures or strong opposing magnetic fields. Clean the magnet surface thoroughly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a stable 'extra hand' for welding and assembly.
- Offers versatile angle holding (45, 90, 135 degrees).
- Durable construction ensures longevity.
- Compact design fits into various work scenarios.
- Useful for separating steel sheets as well as holding.
Cons
- Limited to 25lb holding capacity, unsuitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Only effective on ferrous metals.
- Can accumulate metal shavings, requiring regular cleaning.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These magnets require no setup. Simply place them on a clean ferrous metal surface or component to engage their magnetic force.
Compatibility: The magnets are compatible with all ferrous metals, including steel and iron. They are not effective on non-ferrous metals like aluminum, brass, or stainless steel unless it is magnetic.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- Keep the magnetic surfaces clean and free from debris, metal filings, and dust. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Avoid exposing the magnets to extreme heat or corrosive environments, which can degrade their magnetic strength or damage the housing.
- Store the magnets away from sensitive electronic equipment or magnetic media, as strong magnetic fields can cause damage.
- Regularly inspect the steel construction for any signs of damage.
