I have large magnet guides for this purpose, but they are great for quick latching on small stock. They are smaller than the ones I've seen if you can hold them entirely in the palm of your hand. The magnetic attraction is strong when they stick well on the welding table. Ideal for small projects that don't even involve welding. I use them for gluing jigs etc. Love the bright color in the low light in the shop. I recommend them to anyone doing small layouts.
