PROP-A-WELD
PROP-A-WELD
Prop-A-Weld makes it easy for someone working on their own to weld beams and rails. The steel chain and magnetic brackets grip and clamp to virtually any upright with a vice-like grip. Once in place, the cross beam slide bracket is easily adjusted up or down with millimetre precision to achieve highly accurate placement of the rail on the post.
- Fits any pipe or square section up to 120mm (4.5 inches)
- 3 axis adjustment after the clamp is locked on
- Holds up to 100kg (220 pounds)
- Works inverted to allow clamping 20mm from the ground
- Easy to use trigger action
- Stainless steel construction
Prop-A-Weld sits out from the post or upright and provides plenty of space around the weld seam to get to it with either a stick rod or MIG / TIG torch.
Holding a beam in place by hand has its problems as it’s difficult to keep the rail steady and in position while you try to get a tack on the join. It’s almost impossible to do when the beam is heavy and needs to be level, at a precise angle or close to the ground.
Welding rails or beams to a post is a job often needed on farm for building cattle yards, putting rails on a balustrade, building walkways or making end assemblies. It’s a job often done by fencing contractors and usually requires two people, one person to hold one end of the beam while the other person holds and welds.
Most people will use G-clamps or straps to hold a hold a block to the upright and carefully tap the block and clamp up or down to get level. But that can be difficult to do and can knock the horizontal beam off the block on the other upright. It’s even more difficult when trying to weld cattle rail that doesn’t have a flat bottom edge.
The Prop-A-Weld is a tool that can save you thousands on labour as it allows a single person to work alone. There will always be that day when you can't get someone to hold up the other end of a rail or pipe.

Strain Walker Pro - Chain Grab Tensioner
Easy to use, they have a good long chain on them with plenty of swivels if I was to order another set I would move the swivel in the chain back a few chain links to only wrap around steel posts not wooden posts.
Ordered 28days ago and still no sign of delivery!!!
Great item works well
I had one sent over to the uk And what a bit of kit. It works a treat No more. Sliced fingers in The wet and mud Probably the best purchase since a tracked knocker
Thank you Ian. Will be recommending it to everyone in see.
Thank you
I used it with the Strainer X winch instead of the ratchets that come with the pack (2 chains running running from the winch to the strainenumber ofr board) and it worked well, the trick being consistent tension along the strainer board and that is easy given the 12 holes available. And it could be that 2 winches would over-complicate things. Overall, the wish list must be the West Ender and its foot plus 2 ratchets especially if 2m but so far I'm doing well enough to avoid buying the in-line strainers to patch up problems from using the strainer board, which may not be a bad result for a first time fencer.
Indispensable, and very happy with design because it is easy to read
It is far better than trying to keep the strainer walker going , e.g. links dropping or moving away just before tightening happens
I am so pleased I have ordered again !!
Delivery was great, ordered on. Friday and delivered to NZ by Wednesday
Purchased the strainers as they looked pretty easy to use.
What an understatement,
My wife can now handle the straining with ease.
Awsome bit of gear I have labourers who struggle with standard wire strainers very frustrating but they are doing it with ease now great time and money saver
Used it for the first time today and I was pretty amazed at how quick and easy it was to use, highly recommend it, great investment
