Magjig 60 Keychain Welding Magnet
The Magswitch Magjig 60 is a switchable permanent magnet that fits on a keychain for quick access during welding, fabrication or metalworking tasks. Its on/off knob activates a 60 lb maximum pull on flat or round steel surfaces without any electrical power source. The compact steel housing measures 1.7 in high, 1.6 in long and 1.1 in wide, making it easy to carry to any job site.
Thermals, Noise and Power Draw
Because the magnet uses a purely mechanical switching mechanism, it draws zero electrical power and produces no heat or audible noise during operation. The magnetic field is either fully engaged or fully disengaged by turning the knob, so there is no standby consumption or cooling requirement. Operating stability is rated up to 176 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing use near pre-heated workpieces or in warm shop environments.
Replaces Clamps and Temporary Fixtures
This tool replaces spring clamps, C-clamps or improvised tack-welds when you need a fast, reusable hold on plate as thin as 0.13 in. The jump is worth it for welders who repeatedly position small parts, fabricators who switch between flat and round stock, or anyone who wants a hands-free third hand that stores on a key ring. It does not suit tasks needing variable-angle positioning or holding force beyond 60 lb.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the Magjig 60 on a workpiece and what step is often missed?
Switch the knob to on after placing it on clean flat or round steel; the magnet stays clean and turns completely off when you flip the knob back.
What part of the Magjig 60 will need replacement first?
The yellow positioner and steel housing are built without electrical parts or consumables, so no scheduled replacement is required under normal use.
At what temperature does the Magjig 60 lose holding power during long welds?
The magnet is rated stable up to 176 degrees Fahrenheit; sustained heat above that level will reduce its 60 lb pull strength first.
