ABSTRACT:
An electroplating wand has a tubular housing with a battery compartment at a first end and an elongated anode protruding from a second end of the housing. The anode is covered with a cloth material that absorbs plating solution when immersed within a container of plating solution. A DC battery is received within the battery chamber and provides the sole power source for the wand. A cap for a container of plating solution is clamped on the anode with the end of the anode protruding past the cap so that it can be immersed within a container of plating solution while the container is fastened to the cap over the end of the anode. A ground wire protrudes from the battery chamber and has a clip allowing it to be fastened to the material that is to be plated.
