CWS Extra Large Red Magnetic Position Holder - High Hold 90, 45 & 135 Degrees
Please note the magnetic strength of this position holder is greater than the smaller but similar shaped units from Weldability and ESAB.
The CWS magnetic position holder is larger and much higher in holding strength than other similar units, at Noz-Alls we generally market the ESAB branded position holders because of the greatly improved position holding to the same sized product sold by Weldability, which has a weak holding power.
The higher magnet holding power helps to prevent unwanted movement whilst you set up to tack the parts together - Always remove the magnets before completing your welding runs - if not removed the heat can reduce the magnetic flux / holding power.
The quoted holding strength is:-
Esab - 16kg
Weldability - 7kg
CWS - 34kg
Hence why we now supply the CWS & Esab magnetic position holders.
Removing the magnetic position holder remains a simple operation, simply tilt to one side so that one pole plate detaches from your work then twist to a single point and lift away.
Our CWS magnetic position holder is larger, please see the comparative photos

Large magnet designed to be multi-functional with regards to metal holding and various positional welding.
When you need a "third hand" these magnetic position holders are so helpful allowing you to "tack-up" before you weld your joints.
Two smaller holders from ESAB are also available.
In our showroom we also have both a cheap red magnetic holder the same size as the ESAB magnetic holders available side by side so you may compare all three versions directly and see why the CWS and ESAB magnetic position holders are worth paying the small extra cost - These position holders make setting up a much more confident experience and allows you to progress more quickly.
