Let’s face it, most hot rodders and racers have ideas that are beyond their level of fabrication skills, but that’s why some make it their mission to learn and perfect those skills and others spend money with experts. But there is more to the expertise than JUST the skill. Sometimes the tools the pros use are enough to push your skill over the edge and into the next realm of cool. There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of tools that we all wish we had in our shops with price tags from a few bucks on up to tens of thousands or more. The great thing in the fabrication game is that some of the low to mid price tools can really make the difference in your finished project, and these Welding Squares from Fireball Tool and Weldtables.com might just be them.

There is nothing more frustrating to me than planning out a project, cutting the material, and then having nothing but trouble getting the parts square and firmly held in place for the welding process. Using clamps and speed squares  works, but not easily and without a constant level of adjustment.

Well now the folks at Fireball Tool, and the guys over at WeldTables.com, have a couple different solutions for you. Check these out.

Fireball Tool has both tab and slot, weld them yourself, squares of all kinds and a series of cast aluminum OR cast iron squares as well. All three offerings will get the job done, and which material you go with depends on what your projects usually consist of and what your budget is. No matter what you choose, these have great potential and the guys at Fireball have cool videos showing just how to use them. Fireball also has welding and fabrication table plans available to build your own custom welding table.

Meanwhile, the gang over at WeldTables.com have added great welding squares to their line of awesome tab and slot welding and fixturing tables. We’ve been drooling over their welding tables for years and their welding squares work perfectly with those tables regardless of shape and size. The welding squares from WeldTables.com are ONLY available in the weld it yourself kit form, but with the tabs and slots you are not likely to screw it up. We dig them.

So if you are looking for some tools to add to your shop, and who of us isn’t, take a look at these. You’ll use them more than you might think.
