0904695004 - ESAB EG 600 Earth Clamp, 600A Heavy-Duty Brass Ground

Don't Let a Bad Ground Ruin Your Weld

Every professional welder knows that a stable arc starts with a solid ground. The ESAB EG 600 Earth Clamp is designed to eliminate the common frustrations associated with poor grounding, such as arc wandering, sputtering, and inconsistent bead appearance. If you have ever struggled with a cheap, stamped-steel clamp that gets red-hot halfway through a job or slips off the workpiece at the worst possible moment, the EG 600 is the upgrade your rig needs. Built to handle up to 600 Amps, this clamp is a beast of a tool that delivers the reliability required for serious fabrication work.

The first thing you will notice about the EG 600 is its weight and build quality. Made from solid brass, it feels substantial in the hand and is built to take a beating. In the welding world, brass is king for ground clamps because it conducts electricity far better than steel. This means the clamp stays cooler, even when you are pushing high amps on thick structural steel or aluminum. A cooler clamp means less resistance in your circuit, which translates to a smoother, more predictable arc at the torch. You won't have to constantly stop to let your ground cool down or wiggle it to get a better connection.

Usability is also a key feature of the EG 600. The jaws open wide—up to 50mm—so you can easily clamp onto pipe, angle iron, or thick plate edges. The gripping mechanism is designed to bite down hard, ensuring that the clamp stays exactly where you put it. This is crucial when you are dragging heavy welding cable around the shop; you need a clamp that won't pop off when the cable gets tugged. Additionally, the cable connection is straightforward and secure. Using a hex screw, you can crank down on the cable strands for a tight fit that won't loosen up over time due to vibration or thermal expansion.

Whether you are working in a shipyard, a heavy equipment repair shop, or a custom fab garage, the ground clamp is often the most overlooked part of the setup. Yet, it is half of your welding circuit. Investing in a high-quality earth clamp like the ESAB EG 600 ensures that your machine performs at its best. It is a small investment that pays off in better welds, less troubleshooting, and equipment that lasts longer. Stop fighting your arc and start welding with confidence by securing your circuit with the EG 600.
