WYP800-1 - Round Soapstone Marker Holder with Pocket Clip

Professional Grade Round Soapstone Holder

The Wypo WYP800-1 Round Soapstone Holder is an essential accessory for professional welders, fabricators, and pipefitters who require precision and durability in their layout tools. Soapstone is a staple in the metalworking industry due to its high heat resistance and visibility on dark steel, but its brittle nature often leads to waste and frustration. This holder is engineered to solve that problem by providing a rigid, protective metal casing that shields the soapstone stick from impact, drops, and the crushing forces often encountered in a busy industrial environment.

Designed to accommodate standard 1/4-inch round soapstone, the WYP800-1 features a reliable threaded collar mechanism. This allows the user to easily advance the stone as it wears down or retract it fully for safe storage, ensuring that the marking tip is always available when needed but protected when not in use. The round profile of the holder mimics the ergonomics of a standard pen or pencil, offering superior rotational control and comfort compared to flat holders. This is particularly beneficial when marking pipe or tracing curves where a consistent angle is required for accuracy.

In addition to its protective qualities, this holder is built for convenience. It includes a sturdy spring-steel pocket clip, allowing the tool to be securely fastened to a shirt pocket, welding jacket, or tool belt. This simple feature significantly reduces the likelihood of losing the tool in a chaotic workshop. The body is constructed from corrosion-resistant metal, ensuring it withstands exposure to sparks, heat, and shop fluids. Whether performing non-destructive testing layouts, cutting guide lines, or general fabrication markings, the Wypo Round Soapstone Holder ensures your marking medium remains intact and ready for action.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Waste Reduction: Drastically lowers consumable costs by preventing accidental soapstone breakage.
• Precision Control: Round barrel design facilitates easy rotation for maintaining a sharp marking edge.
• Secure Retention: The locking collar grips the soapstone firmly, preventing it from pushing back into the holder during pressure application.
