Drdefi Extra Magnetic Helping Hands Soldering Third Hand, Soldering Station with Alligator Clips PCB Circuit Board Holder Tool 4 Gooseneck Arms Non-Slip Base for Electronics Repair Jewelry Hobby

I have hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and been progressively losing hand coordination and function since 20s. I got these to help me make keychains. I am looking at 150 ish keychains total. This + threading needles makes it 50x easier on me. Probably cut the time in half. Good for arthritis / mixed connective tissue disease sufferers. Love it! Best price one I found witn good reviews. Perfect size for me, strong magnets, heavy and stays in place with foam under to prevent slipping or scratching (good quality). Works perfect for what I need. I DID almost return it though- the alligator clips for the smaller arms didn't want to go in. It was a tad difficult...

Do you do delicate work or need an extra hand? This is for you. Soldering, time knots, gluing and repairing items, you need this.

Good quality clips and heavy duty magnetic base. Strong magnets on each of the arm bases. The only complaint I have so far is the fact that when the arms are bent almost in half, they tend to spring back farther than one would think. Probably a result of the thickness and quality of the arm itself. The base is a decent size, but ideally you could put the 4 arms on a magnetic table and spread them out a bit for the best holding situations. I will probably try that setup next. Quality is well worth the price.

So I got to stay overall I like this The plate is just a hair wider than others. The magnets are super strong and the clips appear to be slightly better quality than your typical Chinese products. Obviously this is brand new to me so it's still works. I just wish it was a little bit bigger than it is although this is bigger than most. You always see pictures of these where they have some tiny little piece of jewelry or a PCB board the size of a fingernail. Personally I like to work on older equipment where the PCB boards are larger. I posted some pictures with an old Atari board from 1979, and it holds it up. Again the quality is great especially for the money. I also like this because it doesn't have all the other garbage on it It's just the arms and the plate. Quite frankly I don't care about all the magnifiers, lights irons and anything else they can try to put on here it becomes more clutter that you don't need in my opinion.

Good quality worked perfectly totally helped me finish a project. I would highly recommend this.

Outstanding! I just completed building three very small circuit boards using this and it worked extremely well. For a small board a single arm was plenty to hold the board in place for parts insertion and soldering. There is plenty of size and strength to handle much larger boards using two or more of the arms. This is going to be very handy for lots of projects.

Magnets are very strong, plate is a good size and the gooseneck doesn't flex too much. Clip pads seem to be silicone since they didn't melt like the vinyl ones do when they are close to a solder joint.

So I received this yesterday and used it immediately. The item support arms have very strong magnets which is good. I found that the four arms are if two different lengths which might become handy. They are stiff which might present a challenge in some cases but learning how best to utilize them for the needed function will take time. The soft rubber alligator tips are quite soft which might or might not be good in some cases. They do come off and a spare set is included. Overall, it does what it’s supposed to do so for my needs, it helps a lot as in holding led strips for soldering/repair.

Excellent quality, sturdy and well-made. Exactly what I needed for my setup.
