TIG tungsten holder with a magnetic, colour-coded lid
Keep your tungstens sorted, straight and clean in one tube. There are separate compartments for 1.6, 2.4 and 3.2 mm, one for used tungstens, and a closed position for when it goes in the toolbox. Turn the lid to the compartment you want: it clicks into place at each one, so only that compartment is open. Pick the lid colour to match the tungsten type you keep in it.
What it does
Five positions: 1.6 mm, 2.4 mm, 3.2 mm, USED, and closed (line the arrow on the lid up with the triangle on the tube)
Magnetic lid: turn it and it clicks into line at every compartment
Magnetic base: stands on your welding table or bench and stays put
Takes full-length 175 mm tungstens with the lid shut
Five-sided body that will not roll off the bench, with every compartment labelled on the side
The lid is screwed on, so it cannot come off and spill your tungstens
Colour-coded lids
The lid colours follow the standard tungsten tip colours, and the type is pressed into the side of the lid, so you can see at a glance which tube is which.

Good to know
Let a tungsten cool before you put it away: a hot tungsten will mark the plastic.
