Review: The ability to turn of the magnetic field makes them easy to clean - I work as a welder in a small fab shop, and I have found the magswitch products indispensable for my work. I purchased both the 165 and the 400, and use them routinely for set up work. The 400 is too strong and creates too much of a field to weld near, so it is used primarily to stablize pieces a couple of feet from where I'm running a bead. The 165 can be used in fairly close proximity to the weld area, as the field is not as strong. These models are not designed for high heat applications so I have to be careful how close they are to the bead, and how much heat I'm running. I usually work with thin wall square tubing so it's not that much of an issue as the heat isn't cranked up that high. I do a lot of metal cutting and grinding as well, and they help hold pieces when clamps are not possible or effective. The ability to turn of the magnetic field makes them easy to clean. They aren't cheap, but if you work with metal on a daily basis, they are worth the money. Great product! Review: Powerful and easy to use - Not much to dislike. It does what it says in the product literature. Switch works smoothly every time. Keep in mind the "sheer strength" is less that the hold strength and the surfaces that it is holding greatly affect the holding strength. Don't expect miracles. ## Features - An on/off magnetic work-holding square with 400 lb - (182 kg) of hold force from Magswitch Technology - M6 * 1 threaded holes on all sides and machined at 90° magnetic grip on 5 sides—strong on 3 sides - Versatile Workholding Square.

It does what it says in the product literature. Switch works smoothly every time. Keep in mind the "sheer strength" is less that the hold strength and the surfaces that it is holding greatly affect the holding strength. Don't expect miracles. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for random woodworking tasks *by G***F on October 4, 2020* I use this for very specific woodworking tasks, and for those, it works exceptionally well. I used the threaded M5 holes to mount a piece of wood on that can wrap around each side of my bandsaw blade. I use it in this configuration primarily to cut the cheeks on my tenons, but I also use it to clear out the majority of the waste on my dovetails. The reason why I have to use this rather than the integrate stop on the fence (My saw is a Laguna 18 BX, and I primarily use a 1.25" carbide tipped resaw king blade on it) is that this gives me the depth limit right at the blade, and there are times that the tenons are too narrow and I can't use the built in stop of the saw due to the guide post. This is also what allows me to use it to clear out most of the waste efficiently on my dovetails as well as finger joints without cutting further than needed. I also use this when refurbishing old planes. I have a granite flat reference that I put sandpaper on. I then use the magsquare to hold the plane blade (often in very poor condition) to hold it firmly and with even pressure to lap it to flatness and remove any corrosion. I don't use it very often, but for those times that I do, I am very happy I have it! ## Frequently Bought Together - Magswitch MagSquare 400 - Magswitch MagSquare 165 Magnetic Welding Square Base Clamp Holder for Welding Kit, Tools, Supplies and Accessories, Magnet Switch with On/Off Capabilities, 150 lb Holding Force, black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/9842783-magsquare-400](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/9842783-magsquare-400) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
