Forney Industries 70802 Steel Flat Soapstone Holder

Product Description

The Forney Industries 70802 is a steel flat soapstone holder designed to securely grip flat soapstone markers used for layout and marking in welding, fabrication, and metalworking applications. The holder provides a firm, consistent grip on flat soapstone sticks, keeping the marking surface exposed and controlled during use. Built from steel construction, it offers durability in shop and field environments where layout tools take daily wear. Welders, fabricators, and pipefitters rely on this type of holder to extend the usable life of soapstone sticks and maintain clean, accurate layout lines on metal workpieces.

This soapstone holder is suited for use in welding shops, fabrication facilities, and structural steel work where flat soapstone is the preferred marking medium. Flat soapstone leaves visible lines on dark or heat-scaled metal surfaces, making it a standard layout tool in both production and field environments. The 70802 is packaged in a quantity of 24 units per package, making it practical for tool crib stocking or crew distribution on larger job sites.
