yes it is it's friday fool and you need
this tool
welcome to another glorious episode of
it's Friday fool you need this tool my
name is Kyle Voss and every friday i
bring you a tool a tool that i use here
in this shop or that i have featured on
this channel this week's tool is for all
you welders out there, any welders in
the house beer welder smash the like
button little like but this week's tool
comes from the guys over at strong hand
tools it is the grasshopper don't it look
like a grasshopper looks just like a
grasshopper you do a lot of you guys can
look at this and know exactly what it's
for this is a very nice and polished
tool polished as in like they've got it
all sorted out not polishing and shiny
this tool has brass tips on all three
prongs for spark free use has a nice
Center weight and both the upper and
lower legs grasshopper legs are
adjustable just loosen the wingnut you
can slide these in and out you can even
turn one around pretty easy packing kind
of folds up a little bit Stronghand
makes two models of these this is the
pro model it comes with a ground strap
and this little clip here just turn this
little wing nut this clip will slide you
can position this thing anyway you need
to the other model does not have those
two options it just has the legs and the
weight and the brass tips of course
these things are exceptional for holding
metal parts why you try to weld them
especially in the TIG welding mainly
when your TIG welding you got both your
hands full you can't really hold
something and do feel a rod and strike
the arc and all that good stuff so this
is like your third hand matter of fact I
think they sometimes they call it a third hand
very easily he's going to weld this
piece this piece your grasshopper here
very easily hold it where you needed to
also ground the piece if needed the nice
thing is sometimes you can even do these
things at an angle a little bit so this
have to be straight up and down I'm
going to strip them down select pretty
you can kind of set it on yourself this
thing will hold it even at an angle now
if you wanted to suppose you could
probably do two parts at the same time
there you go two parts same time this
clip comes in really handy for holding
tubes and bolts and whatever really that
you want you can kind of clamp it in
there thing it's nice you can clamp it
at an angle so if you wanted to weld
this thing at an angle on to something
you just clamp it in like that you want
to change the angle you just loosen this
because this thing can be positioned in
really any position you can kind of do
it exactly the way you want it tighten
it down and then you're ready to go this
pro model version sells for $35 the non
pro model which like I said comes
without the ground strap and without the
clip sales for the $25 range things are
very handy to have you're doing some TIG
welding some small parts you need some
help positioning one of these will save
you a lot of time and frustration I
would almost recommend getting two of
them but one will do you

links in the description of both models
