Product Information
Full details
The Proses Snap & Fix Set is an essential assembly tool for hobbyists and model builders working with plastic, wood, or laser-cut kits. By utilizing powerful magnetic force, this tool provides a hands-free, reliable way to align and hold corners at precise angles while adhesives cure. While it is an invaluable asset for achieving perfectly square joints, users should note that the magnetic strength is best suited for lightweight model materials rather than heavy-duty structural components.

FAQs
Can these be used for metal models?
These are primarily designed for plastic, wood, and laser-cut materials. They may not perform optimally with heavy metal pieces.
What is the maximum angle I can achieve?
The adjustable arm clamps can be set to any angle between 90 and 180 degrees.
Will the magnets damage delicate laser-cut parts?
The contact surfaces are designed to be gentle, but it is always recommended to test the pressure on a scrap piece if working with extremely thin or fragile veneers.
Do I need to clean the magnets?
Yes, keeping the faces free of dust and dried glue residue is important to maintain the maximum magnetic pull.
Are these clamps reusable?
Yes, the Proses Snap & Fix Set is fully reusable for an unlimited number of model building projects.
Can I use these with CA glue (super glue)?
Yes, but be careful to avoid getting the glue on the magnet faces, as it can be difficult to remove once cured.
Troubleshooting
Clamps are sliding out of position
Ensure both the inner and outer surfaces of your model are clean and free of oils, which can reduce friction.
Magnets are not holding the pieces securely
Check that the thickness of your model material is within the effective magnetic range; if the pieces are too thick, the magnetic field will be too weak.
Adhesive is sticking to the clamps
Apply a thin layer of wax or a non-stick hobby lubricant to the face of the clamps before use to prevent adhesive adhesion.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides hands-free stability for complex gluing tasks
- Ensures perfectly square 90-degree corners
- Adjustable design handles various angles up to 180 degrees
- Non-marring surface contact protects delicate model parts
- Easy to reposition and adjust before adhesive fully sets
Cons
- Not suitable for heavy or large-scale metal parts
- Requires enough surface area to maintain magnetic contact
- Magnetic force may be insufficient for thick, warped wooden boards
Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex assembly is required; the tools are ready to use immediately out of the packaging. The set is compatible with almost all standard hobby materials including polystyrene, balsa, plywood, and MDF.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the contact surfaces clean from dried adhesive buildup to ensure maximum magnetic grip.
- Avoid storing near magnetic-sensitive electronics or credit cards.
- Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the magnets over time.
- If adhesive spills on the clamp, gently wipe with a compatible solvent before it cures completely.
