Magswitch MagJig 95 Magnetic Clamp Set of 2 - Heavy Duty Hold

In this review the Magswitch MagJig 95 magnetic clamp set is evaluated for woodworkers and metalworkers who need a compact, highholding magnetic clamp. The bottom line: these clamps deliver impressive holding strength in a small package, making them particularly useful for shop resawing jigs, fixture building, and quick temporary stops. The review focuses on real workshop use, ease of operation with the on/off magnet switch, and whether the 95 lb breakaway rating translates into reliable daytoday holding performance.

Key Features

• 95 lb Max Breakaway: Provides strong holding capacity for most jig and small fixture tasks so pieces stay locked while you work.
• Full Saturation Thickness.25 in: Designed to reach full magnetic strength through up to.25 in material so users know the clamp will hold across common stock thicknesses.
• Compact Height: At 1.4 in overall height the clamp fits well into lowprofile setups and tight jig clearances without getting in the way.
• Lightweight: At about.4 lbs each the clamps are easy to reposition and add to portable jigs without adding significant weight.
• On/Off Magnet Switch: The heavy duty on/off control gives quick engagement and release, simplifying setup and reducing the risk of pinched fingers during placement.

Who It's For

This set is best for hobbyists and professional woodworkers or welders who need reliable, portable magnetic clamping for jigs, small fixtures, or holding parts during resawing and layout. It suits shop users who value quick setup, strong holding force, and a compact footprint.

Those who should look elsewhere include users needing large surface magnetic clamping for heavy plate work beyond the 95 lb rating, or anyone who requires integrated screwtype adjustments or long reach clamping - this product is a compact, direct magnetic clamp rather than a multifunction mechanical vise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these safe to use on delicate surfaces?
They provide strong holding force, so use a protective pad between the magnet and delicate finish to avoid marring.

Do they hold through 1/4 in material?
Yes, the clamps reach full saturation at about.25 in / 6 mm, which is the rated thickness for full magnetic strength.

Is the on/off switch easy to operate with gloves?
The on/off magnet control is straightforward, but gloved operation can be slightly less tactile; most users find it still easy to use in shop conditions.
