Walter 48-H 578 Multi-Angle Magnetic Welding Clamp

Your New Favorite "Third Hand" in the Shop

Every welder knows the frustration of trying to hold two pieces of metal at a weird angle while simultaneously trying to grab the torch and lay a tack weld. It usually ends with a slipped part, a bad tack, or a burnt glove. Enter the Walter Pivot Magnet (48H578). This isn't just another magnet; it's the helper you always wished you had. Designed to make fit-up faster and easier, this tool lets you position your steel exactly where you want it and keeps it there.

The magic lies in the pivot. With two magnetic faces that swing up to 200 degrees, you aren't limited to just 45 or 90-degree angles. Need a 33-degree angle for a custom frame? No problem. Need to hold a tab onto a pipe? The magnet has you covered. It packs a serious punch with roughly 110 lbs of holding force, meaning your parts won't slide around when you touch them with the electrode or wire. It’s strong enough to hold heavy plate but small enough to toss in your tool bag.

Using the Walter Pivot Magnet is simple: set your angle, stick it to your base metal, attach your secondary piece, and weld. It’s perfect for one-man jobs where you need to be efficient. Whether you are building custom furniture, repairing heavy equipment, or working on a roll cage, this magnetic clamp saves you time and frustration. Stop fighting with gravity and clumsy clamps—let the Walter Pivot Magnet do the holding so you can focus on the welding.

Why Welders Love It

• Infinite Angles: Set it to any angle you need, lock it in with the magnet's grip, and weld away.
• Strong Grip: Holds tight so you can trust your fit-up won't move before the tack cools.
• Easy to Use: No screws to tighten, no threads to strip—just simple, reliable magnetic power.
