Jumbo Workbench | Soldering Iron Helping Hand Tool | 6 Magnetic Arms | Steel Base for Welding Table Top

Im so tired of those old little extra hands fragile 2 gator clip plus magnify glass tragedies. This thing is big, heavy, adjustable and STABLE. And now, since I like it so much, the only think I would like added to it is the option for some larger clips on the ends of the goose necks, because Im sure with those it could hold even some bigger items just where I want them. And, of course, that would have NEVER even been conceivable with those old little wobbly gizmos.

Small issue with my hardware as it arrived damaged in shipping, the manufacturers response to my email was very quick and they had a replacement part out to me immediately.

Headline pretty much sums up the pros and cons. The base is quite weighty (good thing) and the magnets in the flex arms are powerful but the flex tube itself lacks ample rigidity to hold an item that has any real mass to it. Tried using all 6 that came with the kit to hold a circuit board that is about 9 x 9 which had a reasonable amount of surface mount devices on it and the arms could not manage to keep the PCB in place while I was trying to solder the board.

This is one of those products that you dont realize you needed until you start using it. Huge workspace, and the magnetic bases on the clamps are very secure.

This really helps when building cables all day every day, as we do! Building cables and adapters is much easier now with this. Lots of work space. Its very heavy. Quality is phenomenal. The helping hands are great. I especially love the removable rubber tips! Helps to not scratch our connectors while soldering.

This is a critical review pointing out things that need to be improved. So please understand that I like this product, but only because of its large work area. Outside of that there are better options. Things that need improvement: - Stronger arms. After only a couple days of use my arms are starting to get weaker and weaker to the point its difficult to keep light weight objects like a piece of wire perfectly lined up with where I need it to be. Im now fighting with the arms and have to play Operation (reference to the old board game). - The stickers on the top of the base plate some how manage to block a significant amount of the flex arms magnetic holding strength. While this isnt a huge issue, it is still an issue when needing to utilize a far corner of the work space. Removing these obviously fixes the issue, but shouldnt be necessary. - The price point of this product is quite high to not include additional PCB standoffs or a heat gun clamp like competitors do.

Nice heavy base insures stability while the magnets and clips seem sufficient to securely hold work for a variety of purposes.

Are you search for modeling holding small pieces magnets are very strong great quality

Love it

I had purchased a smaller base from this company before. The smaller one worked great but I needed a bigger platform.
