Ground it once.
Weld all day.

Sawyer's Grasshopper is the fastest and most dependable way to secure a ground for welding. Nylon-insulated magnets grip the pipe, and the clamp grips a purpose-made bolt so the arc stays where it belongs.

In practice

How it runs
on the job

Place

Set it on the pipe

Magnets grip without a strap. Ergonomic shape means one hand does it.

Ground

Clamp onto the bolt

The clamp grips the bolt, not the pipe, so the connection cannot wander.

Share

Add the second ground

The bolt takes two, which is how brother-in-law welding gets done.

Very adjustable and holds awesome.

Fordman, verified

Magnets are very strong, easy to adjust, well worth the money. Much easier than having to strap down a grasshopper and more durable than other magnetic ones.

Questions people actually ask

Does it need a bungee?

No. The nylon-insulated magnets hold it to the pipe on their own.

Can two welders share one?

Yes. The grounding bolt has length for two grounds.

Short or long bolt?

The short bolt comes standard. The long bolt is optional and is the one for tie-ins and anomaly digs.

Set the ground.
Get on with the weld.
