GM205 - Strong Hand PowerBase 500A Switchable Magnetic Ground Clamp

High-Performance Grounding with Strong Hand GM205

For professional welders seeking a reliable and versatile grounding solution, the Strong Hand Tools GM205 PowerBase Magnetic Ground Clamp delivers exceptional performance. Engineered to handle high-current applications, this device is rated for 500 Amps, making it a robust choice for demanding industrial fabrication. The primary advantage of a magnetic ground is the ability to place the ground point as close to the weld as possible, regardless of the workpiece geometry, which helps to minimize arc blow and improve weld quality.

The GM205 is built with a high-strength rare earth magnet that provides a substantial 110 lbs of holding power. This strong magnetic grip ensures a low-resistance connection is maintained throughout the welding process. To further optimize current transfer, Strong Hand Tools has equipped this model with a premium copper connector stud. This design choice minimizes voltage drop across the connection, ensuring that your welding machine's power is delivered efficiently to the arc, rather than being lost as heat at the ground clamp.

Versatility and Ease of Use

The PowerBase magnet is designed with a dual-purpose contact surface. It functions perfectly on flat steel plates, but also features a precision-machined V-groove that allows it to seat securely on round stock and pipes. This versatility means a single tool can handle a wide range of jobs in the shop. Additionally, the unit features a convenient On/Off switch. This mechanism controls the magnetic field, allowing for effortless placement and removal. It also solves the common issue of magnetic tools collecting debris; simply switch it off, and the accumulated metal fuzz wipes right off.

Stop struggling with spring clamps that slip or require time-consuming tack welds to create a ground point. The Strong Hand GM205 offers a fast, secure, and electrically superior method for grounding your work, enhancing both productivity and safety in the welding environment.
