- Get Straight to the Good Stuff... Welding
- Save Time Sourcing, Cutting and Preparing Practice Materials
- Bend-it-Yourself Kit Eliminates the Need For Clamps and Magnets
- Contains One Flat Plate that Bends into a Tetrahedron (Triangle Base Pyramid)
- Laser Cut in the USA with USA Steel... Because it Matters
Introducing a brand new type of welding kit: fixtureless, fold-it-yourself and completely free from cumbersome clamps and magnets. Just bend the flaps into place and weld. We are proud to bring you a whole new way to get straight to the good stuff... Welding!
We find using a bench vise and adjustable wrench works very well for precisely bending the kit into its triangular tetrahedron shape. We love that this kit has joints halfway between an open corner joint and an edge joint. After all, these kits are designed to increase your experience with a variety of welding joints and positions.
This kit has a little trick up its sleeve; welding the kerf or bend line gaps together will be very difficult with a wire feed welder. It's a perfect opportunity to break out the gas or TIG torch, or get really creative. You can also leave the bend lines unwelded, because they look pretty cool if you ask us!
Customer Reviews
I was given one of each of these sets for a gift years ago while teaching myself how to weld. Finally decided to give them a shot now that inwould waste these cool things. They bend perfectly needing VERY little adjustment, the steel is a good quality fairly clean piece and welds beautifully. Decided to clean it up and polish it to a mirror finish because it looks so cool when done!
This kit is fantastic for learning how to weld
At first I was a bit unsure concerning where to begin...This is a chunk of metal that has a purpose and that purpose is very narrow but it fulfills its purpose very well. If you are looking at this product, you likely need/want some practice welding, want a piece of metal for a desk, or you want to find a cool gift that is a bit "out of the box". I think this thing checks all of the aforementioned boxes and works in each scenario. Admittedly, I am newer to welding (and also wanted a hunk of metal that I did something to in order to decorate my desk/workbench) but I needed the practice. When I first saw this, I thought that you had to heat up the points that bend...but you just need a vice and wrench...THEN you can weld it. This is cool and very much a niche product that is some really high quality steel.Pros:Super cool gift or practice ideaLooks great when put togetherUnique giftHigh-quality steelCons:Doesn't come with instructions (a piece of paper with tips would be helpful)
Despite it's practical use, which has been reviewed by others, I want to add that this makes a great gift for metalworkers, fabricators, and makers. It's one of these 'that is so cool' presents to give a good friend for no reason. It looks great and even comes with a sticker for the tool box. Because we all love stickers
Heavy steel. Can be bent and welded, cut and welded or used as part of a larger project. Laser cut. Steel is solid and needs a heavy well mounted vice to bend. Fun for learning mig welding and plasma cutter
