I wanted to explain to y'all and show you what a grasshopper is and why we use it on on the pipeline. I also show you my homemade ground clamp and explain when I would use it instead. Hope this answers some of your questions about the pipeline pipe ground tool.

That must be a Texas grasshopper! I was expecting the little one with the magnets. I gave you a thumbs up and a sub. Always glad to learn more about pipelines.

@arosswelding 2 года назад

Thanks for your support!

@calebmattix391 5 лет назад

Thanks buddy! I really appreciate your willingness to share all the trade specific details. It is great to learn ideas that may have other applications

@motomfthug8551 4 года назад

Union Ironworker here. Keep up.the good video's. I like learning what other trades do and learning about their tools.

Great video and grasshopper design. In the 70's the body of many of them were made from files and the tang end had been heated and bent to fit in the bevel.

@Blue_Collar_Hunter 6 лет назад

This is a great help to me. I am currently working on getting my pipe certs. The grasshopper your showing seems much more logical than some of the ones I've seen they sell in stores.

@arosswelding 6 лет назад

SCOTT Allen I am glad it helped you. Thank you for the feed back.

As a Pipeliner. Do you ever use a gouging rod and if so, when would you use it ? The only time I ever use a gouging rod, is when I need to remove welds on heavier gauge plate.

@edwardhernandez7600 6 лет назад

I got a ground similar to that as well....I sharpened the bolt end so that it digs through paint or I use a buffer to shine it real quick like. Keep up the awesome videos Austin

@arosswelding 6 лет назад

edward hernandez Yes, very good idea. Connection is key. Thank you for watching.

@kevinvallee9049 6 лет назад

Great video . Thanks for info. Learn something new every day.

@arosswelding 6 лет назад

Kevin Vallee That’s right. Thanks for watching.

@Grant-vk6zo 6 лет назад

I am really enjoying your informational videos. I have welded for years and never seen a Grasshopper. I will be building a ground clamp like yours as well.

@arosswelding 6 лет назад

Grant Marshall I am glad you like them. I enjoy making them. Thanks for the feedback. It is really helpful.

@sekiride 6 лет назад

@arosswelding 6 лет назад

@dirtriderkx500 6 лет назад

not to be rude. what is your weakness in pipe welding? what do you think you need to improve on? Keep up the great videos.

@arosswelding 6 лет назад

dirtriderkx500 Not rude at all. I really appreciate the question. I love questions like this. Very constructive. I am going to make a video on it. Thank you.

@bartbley1269 6 лет назад

I weld a bolt on to vise grips and tighten on the ground cable at the bolt . works good on the grasshopper or your other device

@arosswelding 6 лет назад

bart bley Nice. Good idea. Thanks for the feedback.

@billmcyrus 6 лет назад

So this being a recently acquired grasshopper, I have to ask: how many do you have? Do you keep quite a few or swap them out/leave them?

@texashunter3597 6 лет назад

I was looking to either purchase a grasshopper or build one. One thing i didn’t hear you mention was the magnetic ones. The importance to avoid arcing alway from the bevel very important got it thanks. Are magnetic grasshoppers allowed? Does arcing alway from the bevel count as s repair against you?

@randomchannel4886 6 лет назад

Texas Hunter better build one like he has.. Buddy tried makimg a magnetic one and even with insulators to isolate the magnets still managed to make an arc thru the coating

@arosswelding 6 лет назад

Texas Hunter Just be careful with the magnet one. I’ve seen a lot guys use them but like randomchannel said, There is a chance it could arc. Keep a close eye on it. Check the insulators and keep the grinding dust off the magnets. And no it don’t count as a repair but def doesn’t look good to have to cut a weld out because of an arc burn. Thanks for the questions and feed back.

@louisnemick317 6 лет назад

Austin thank you for the information.

@arosswelding 6 лет назад

Louis Nemick You bet. Thanks for watching.

@austinsherwood7188 6 лет назад

What does it mean to weld outside the bevel?

@getlowbullieseric 6 лет назад

What kind of pants are you wearing? I like the look

@arosswelding 6 лет назад

Eric Dominguez They are Martin brothers. I talk about these pants as well with a could different shirts and welding caps in the apparel video on this channel.

@davesmith1574 6 лет назад

Austin Ross, Just wondering why you starch your shirts all the time?? Does that help keep the sparks off and catching on fire?

@marksweldingmech.srvcs.9881 6 лет назад

Ok Grasshopper, wax on wax off HAHA

@arosswelding 6 лет назад

@KeepingitAnalog 6 лет назад

@arosswelding 6 лет назад

Frontier Specialized I already know! Haha thanks for watching!

@scotunotee707 6 лет назад

Love the videos. Certified Pipe welder, but not a pipeline welder. Work for a chemical company.

@wranglermaxfield3281 6 лет назад

you need better audio i can barely hear your videos

@chrisrenaud4141 6 лет назад

If your concerned with arcing on the pipe just strip some welding lead to bare copper tie it around your pipe, copper will never arc

@chrisrenaud4141 6 лет назад

i keep an old tig torch lead around i've had forever stripped nice and flexible about 13 feet long to get a ground on funny shape things or to extend my ground cable if needed tie it on clip it on whatever works if the gauge is too small double it over make it half as long awesome thing all welders should have for sure
