Platinum WC-01553 Promax 3/16″ x 1/2″ x 5″ Soap Stone Holder

The Platinum WC-01553 ProMax Soapstone Holder secures standard rectangular soapstone sticks (3/16″ x 1/2″ x 5″) for clear, non-permanent marking on steel, metals, concrete, and masonry. By locking the stone firmly in place, the holder reduces breakage and powdering, giving you sharper layout lines and less waste. A positive-grip adjuster keeps the stone from slipping as you scribe along straightedges or trace patterns, and the slim body offers good visibility so marks land exactly where you need them. For welding layout, fabrication fit-up, and general construction marking, this durable, easy-to-use holder helps crews work faster with consistent results.

Designed for shop and field conditions, the WC-01553 withstands daily use around grinders, torches, and cutting tables. The non-permanent soapstone marks are heat resistant and wipe away cleanly after the job, making this holder a dependable choice for weld symbols, cut lines, bend marks, and assembly references. It’s a simple tool that improves control, extends stone life, and keeps layout neat and readable.

Professionals value a holder that keeps soapstone steady and protected. The WC-01553 improves control for long straight runs, radius work, and tight layout around holes or edges, while minimizing snapped sticks that slow a shift. Non-permanent, heat-resistant soapstone makes sense for welding layout—lines stay readable near the heat-affected zone and then wipe away when the part moves to paint or coating. In shops and classrooms alike, the standard size means stones are easy to source and swap, so users keep working instead of reshaping broken pieces.

Why Metalworkers Prefer the Platinum Promax 3/16″ x 1/2″ x 5″ Soap Stone Holder

Crews choose this soapstone holder because it delivers clean, repeatable soapstone marking without wasting sticks. The secure clamp keeps layout lines consistent on hot or cold material, and the standard size works with common refills found in welding supply aisles. For welding layout, metal marking, and construction work, users get quick reloads, durable construction, and marks that resist heat yet wipe away when the job is finished. The result is faster setup, clearer communication on parts, and fewer interruptions from broken stone.
