Magnetic Helping Hands Third Hand Soldering Work Station | EXtra Large & Heavy Duty Base Plate | Flexible Arms | 360 Hot Air Gun Holder (Helping Hand with Magic Hand)

This set is built much more solidly than other helping hands I’ve used. I still looking for a good illumination and magnifying options to pair with it though.

I am surprised with the level of quality of this set. There are a lot of little pieces, but everything screws in perfectly and arms stay firm. The magnets are really strong and the the alligator jaws have really good tension. I bought this for my shop and everybody loves it! We used to have to solder with 3 or more arms, but with this, it should improve our work efficiency.

Ive eyed these magnetic gooseneck style of helping hand setups for years, but have made do with other things I already had (like PCB holder or vise). Finally, I was working on splicing a heavy cable, and my existing tools werent holding things where I needed them, so I went browsing for an upgrade. This set with the magic hand caught my eye: the pcb holders and goose-necks are useful, but the helping hand is really handy for holding (and easily repositioning) things like 10 gauge cables. Small gripe - I just noticed the listing claims extra rubber covers for the alligator clips will be supplied but I dont see those. Really I dont care much - a bit of shrink tubing or electrical tape will take care of that if it becomes an issue. Its a little pricey in this magic hand configuration compared to some of the other options on Amazon, but at least for me I think its worth it.

Forget the cheap, flimsy, unstable, limited movement holders. This set is beastly! Super sturdy and flexible. Amazingly robust. If you need a set of helping hands, just get these and be done with it for good.

I am very impressed by the quality, everything was well packaged and in their own plastic bag. The magnets are very strong, I almost could not remove it from the plate. The plate is just the right size for what I need to do.

I cannot express enough how well made this device is. The magnetic point stands to hold any hole pattern circuit board is a great idea. I only wish I had adjustable clips instead of the spring loaded alligator clips. Either way it is a great asset if you dont have 4 hands.

Solidly built. Came with no real instructions and some parts Im not sure where they go.

Nothing I can dislike about this tool. Absolutely love it. Love that everything is magnetic and adjustable. Highly recommend

I have been “soldering” (repair, creating electronic projects) for many years, and I have used many different “jigs” to help me with challenging tasks... this is by far the most versatile, robust, well thought out and beautifully constructed set of “helping hands” I have ever used! Cudos to the designers and makers of this product! Nothing flimsy about it at all, all parts fit well and clearly, top notch materials have been used in its fabrication. I highly recommend this product!

The alligator clamps do not have rubber pads. It has heat shrink, which i have found to be pretty harsh on thin wires.
