Grounding Clamps for Welding

Designed specifically for use with welding circuits.

Plier Clamp


Nonconductive

Plier clamps are good for light duty applications that require mobility, such as building a fence.

Copper Connection—Clamps that are copper prevent weld spatter from sticking.

Nonconductive—Nonconductive clamps won’t transmit electricity, meaning you can touch them while the power is on without disrupting the circuit.

Cable Support—Cable supports prevent cable strand breakage.
