Earth Clamp

0 review
Rated 5 out of 5

This heavy-duty Earth Clamp (also known as a Ground Clamp) is a critical component for establishing a secure electrical circuit during welding. Designed for high conductivity and durability, it ensures a stable arc and protects the welder from electrical hazards.

Key Features & Construction

  • Superior Conductivity: Features copper-plated jaws or solid brass contact points to ensure maximum electrical flow and minimal resistance.

  • Heavy-Duty Spring Tension: Equipped with a high-strength steel spring that provides a powerful, “bite-like” grip on the workpiece to prevent slipping or arc blow.

  • Braided Copper Shunt: Many models include a pure copper braided strap between the jaws to ensure current is carried through both sides of the clamp, reducing heat buildup.

  • Electroplated Steel Body: The handle and body are typically constructed from chrome-plated or galvanized iron for exceptional wear resistance and corrosion protection in harsh shop environments.

  • Universal Compatibility: Suitable for use with TIG, MIG, MMA (Stick), and Plasma Cutting machines.
