- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2024
- 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.

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
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.
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.
Thanks for your support!
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.
SCOTT Allen
I am glad it helped you. Thank you for the feed back.
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.
Grant Marshall
I am glad you like them. I enjoy making them. Thanks for the feedback. It is really helpful.
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
edward hernandez
Yes, very good idea. Connection is key. Thank you for watching.
Great video . Thanks for info. Learn something new every day.
Kevin Vallee
That’s right. Thanks for watching.
Great vid. We make the same kind of grasshoppers. Stay safe out there brother.

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.
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
bart bley
Nice. Good idea. Thanks for the feedback.
Austin thank you for the information.
Louis Nemick
You bet. Thanks for watching.
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.
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.
Interesting
Ok Grasshopper, wax on wax off HAHA
Mark's Welding & Mech. Srvcs.
Haha thanks for watching
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?
What does it mean to weld outside the bevel?
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?
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
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.
What kind of pants are you wearing? I like the look
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.
Austin Ross,
Just wondering why you starch your shirts all the time?? Does that help keep the sparks off and catching on fire?
Love the videos. Certified Pipe welder, but not a pipeline welder. Work for a chemical company.
That Tshirt is unacceptable! It is not properly "Starched".
Frontier Specialized
I already know! Haha thanks for watching!
Are you 798?
you need better audio i can barely hear your videos
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
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
