As far as welding, I haven’t had an issue. It’s actually quite fun sometimes. I can feel I would tig weld. If you curl up the leads, it turns them into an electromagnet so you can feel a pretty good buzzing if someone arcs up and you put your magnet near the curled leads.
Shavings from grinding or slag can accumulate around the magnets, but it’s easy to brush them off. That being said, why aren’t you using gloves? OSHA is always hiding around the corner 
That’s been my experience with my xG3 v1 and v2 in knifes edge and P1.
