791F66 - Round Soapstone Marker Holder with Clip

Precision Industrial Marking Solution

The ESAB Round Soapstone Holder (SKU: 791F66) is an essential tool for professionals in the metalworking, fabrication, and construction industries who require temporary but durable markings on workpieces. In the demanding environment of industrial manufacturing, precision layout is the foundation of quality work. This holder is engineered to address the common challenges associated with using raw soapstone, primarily its brittleness and tendency to break under pressure or when dropped. By encasing the marking medium in a robust metal housing, this tool ensures that your soapstone remains intact, minimizing waste and downtime associated with replacing broken markers.

Constructed from high-quality materials, the body of the holder is designed to withstand the rigors of the shop floor, including exposure to heat, sparks, and impact. The round design of the holder mimics the ergonomics of a standard pen or pencil, providing a familiar and comfortable grip that enhances control during detailed layout work. This is particularly important when marking drill centers, cut lines, or bend allowances where accuracy is paramount. The internal mechanism securely grips standard round soapstone, preventing it from slipping back into the housing during application, ensuring consistent pressure can be applied to the surface.

One of the standout features of this unit is its integrated pocket clip. In a busy industrial setting, keeping track of small tools can be a challenge. The strong clip allows technicians to secure the holder to a shirt pocket, apron, or tool belt, ensuring it is always within arm's reach when needed. Furthermore, the adjustable feed system allows the user to extend the stone as it wears down, maximizing the usage of each soapstone stick. Whether working on mild steel, aluminum, or stainless steel, this holder provides the stability needed for clear, visible marks that resist blowing away under torch flame but can be easily wiped off when the job is complete.

This product comes complete with one round soapstone, ready for immediate use. It represents a small investment that yields significant returns in terms of efficiency and material savings. For MRO managers and procurement specialists, stocking these holders ensures that fabrication teams have the reliable marking instruments necessary to maintain workflow continuity and production quality.
