Hakko Omnivise PCB Holder (C1390C)

hardly used, fount the board holder was better

Love the weight of this vise. The style, and how easy it was to clamp down on various PCB boards, to do solder work.

good vice works well for soldering

I love this PCB holder. it is solid metal and is perfect for holding a PCB. I have two...might get more.

These things are wonderful for working on electronics. It hurts to spend $250 for 4 of them though, considering they are made in china and not very expensive to manufacture. They do work remarkably well. Even at the price, I highly recommend these. Depending on size PCBs you are working on, you will probably need between two to 4 of them. They hold the board stable enough above my convection preheater to do QFN and BGA rework just as well as a board holder that costs $1k. Height is adjustable too which is nice. This is one of those items you never realized how much you needed it until you own one (just like a video magnifier for working on small electronics). My ONLY complaint about these are the price. The product is top notch.

...and here all this time I was thinking this thing was not a necessity.

awsome tool

Very heavy and customizable vise.

A bit tall, but works good. They need to make one half the height.

Worth the money to know youre getting a solid product. dont settle for one of those cheap $20 plastic holders that will break. save yourself the trouble. Nice to finally have a board holder instead of just laying the PCB on my desk. and yes you will need at Minimum TWO of these if you plan on doing bigger sized boards.
