Sawyer’s Welding Grasshopper
Model 410
The Sawyer Welding Grasshopper is a fast, reliable, and safe solution for securing welding grounds to pipe—eliminating the risk of arc burn and weld failure without relying on bungees or other unstable methods. Designed with both function and safety in mind, the Grasshopper features a unique grounding system that ensures a solid connection while reducing the risks commonly associated with other clamping devices.
At the heart of the Grasshopper’s design is a grounding clamp that locks onto a specially engineered bolt, creating a secure and stable contact point for your ground lead. This helps prevent unwanted arcing that can lead to costly weld rework or rejection. Reinforced nylon-insulated magnets keep the unit firmly in place without stretching, slipping, or slacking over time—issues often found in traditional grounding setups.
Lightweight yet rugged, the Grasshopper is constructed from precision-cast aluminum and steel, offering long-lasting durability while remaining easy to handle. Weighing under 2 pounds and just 10 inches long, this compact tool is ideal for use in the field, especially where portability and safety are top priorities. Its ergonomic profile allows for quick and simple placement on pipe—whether positioned vertically or horizontally.
Sawyer’s engineers designed the Grasshopper to support multiple welders on the same standard ground when working large-diameter pipe. The main bolt allows easy access for brother-in-law welding, streamlining operations without compromising electrical contact or safety.
For added flexibility, an optional Long Bolt is available. This extended grounding bolt is perfect for use with external clamps or in challenging field scenarios like tie-ins and anomaly digs, giving you more options for safe and secure grounding where standard tools might fall short.
When you need a grounding tool that’s efficient, secure, and built to last, the Welding Grasshopper from Sawyer Manufacturing delivers dependable performance every time—keeping your welds clean, your workflow smooth, and your worksite safer.
