Simple and convenient holder for welding with his own hands

From time to time in front of me there are problems the solution of which will depend on the comfort, safety, convenience of life. This pipe break repair, and the new garage door and fence at the cottage.

All this can be done by hand using the welding machine and various devices (eg, forceps, clamps, magnets).

This review will focus on the instrument that the author proposes to use for welding. (How does this work will show at the end)

**The hero of our review on homemade instruments with their hands**

I will try to give an objective assessment of this device, and it will help to decide how important and useful it can be for you.

Idea

Grade 5 of 5

As already described above, for welding in addition to the welding machine masters use various tools and accessories. Depending on the situation in the course are forceps, clamps and various clips.

Preparation for a retainer for welding with his own hands

The author has made a tool that combines and forceps and clamp simultaneously. The idea is pretty amusing and promising, but the execution leaves something to be desired, this is what I write below.

At the moment, the idea of creating such a lock, you can put 5 out of 5 stars, as it's really useful and necessary thing in the garage.

Evaluation 3 of 5

For the manufacture of this device is the author took a small piece of unequal area. In most middle shelf drilled a hole and weld nuts on both sides so as to be able to screw the bolt.

For smaller shelf welded along the edges of the small bars of square section. The result was an instrument resembling a fork.

Harvesting with a drilled hole to create the lock with his own hands

With the help of this device the author proposes to fix the parts that need to be butt-welded. For this "plug" gets under parts, combines the edge and pushes the bolt. For better fixation of the bolt encloses the plate.

I think, this plate can be welded to the bolt so that it does not get lost. And for ease of use is not enough pens. In general design, in my opinion, is not finalized, so I put 3 points.

Evaluation 3 of 5

Analogues of this device, there are many, for some I already wrote above. This variety of forceps and clamps, whose prices start at 50 rubles.

Given the incomplete construction of devices and a rather large range of professional inexpensive toolI would not do it their own hands. So I put only 3 points.
