Hole Plug Magnet, Hands Free Weld, Pivoting Magnetic V-Pad Base, Spring Loaded Arm, Heat Dissipating Copper Pad, Length: 5.5", AGK320, Strong Hand Tools

Handy tool. Magnets are strong. Does what I wanted.

Solid product. Performs excellently. The magnetic feet are almost too strong, so it holds in place well. Excellent addition to your welding tool kit.

I bought the standard version and I’m glad I did. The magnets are very strong and more than ample for anything I’ll need this for. I put this to work filling five holes in a trailer fender. I’d estimate 18GA steel. It worked amazing. No more holding a paddle or using a penny to weld up small holes. This will get a lot of use and I’m super happy with this. Frustrated at myself I didn’t buy this sooner! Haha.

It worked for me to plug up bolt holes with a mig welder.

I don’t write a lot of reviews for Amazon, but this magnetic hole plug magnet is simply amazing. I’ve Stick, Mig and Tig welded for years and finally purchased this because I heard it was worth while. Wow! I can’t believe I have gone without using this for years. The copper backing pad does 3 things. First, it provides a backing material to help weld holes and gaps- so much nicer that trying to weld thin sheet metal gaps without- prevents burn through on edges and gaps. Second, the copper provides a conductive area to assist in continuity of welding gaps. When using a gas mig, it doesn’t splatter, spit or jump. It joins the edges seamlessly. I was joining gaps of 1/8” that look amazing with this tool. Third, the copper backing provides a surface area to keep the weld beads from over shooting which helps reduce grinding and clean up. I am shocked at how great this tool is and how I should have bought it years ago. I’m replacing the floor pans on my 1966 Mustang and there is a huge amount of welding, gaps to fill and grinding. I had to share. Really, this is worth the money no doubt.
