KOTTO Third Hand Soldering Aid Third Hand Soldering Magnetic Circuit Board Holder Tool Two Arms Help Hands Craft Workshop Help Station Non-Slip Aluminium Base Wire Cutter Pliers

This is a great thing to have full stop.I’ve used it for holding wires to solder but also to hold things in place while glueing them together.The base is quite heavy for its size and so it doesn’t topple over.It’s really easy to use. The magnetic bases of the arms are really strong and the flexible arms can be bent into pretty much any position and once set they remain where you put them.Really useful, well made and decent value bit of kit.

Excellent product and so simple. The base is solid and stays in place whilst soldering.Very happy.

I have had cheaper " helping hands " before, I have pieces of them in old boxes everywhere but this is a proper job!Heavy steel base with strong magnets on the base of the arms allowing them to be positioned anywhere on the base snd stay there!The claws have a strong grip but the plastic coating let's the side down : any heat from the soldering iron distorts or even melts them ....they needed to be silicon rubber. I could not do my electronic tinkering now with out it ......I expect jewelery makers would find it useful also .

Great piece of equipment. Excellent quality and a massive help when soldering small items.

Great for holding very light objects / flowers etc for Macro photography. Exceptionally strong magnets. The 'grips' have a rubber sleeve to grip the objects without damaging whatever you are soldering / photographing.Very pleased, small but a nice bit of 'kit' !

KOTTO Third Hand Soldering Tool with Magnetic base and flexible arms is an essential component for soldering but I don't do much soldering now a days. I bought this for my product photography.I saw many product photographers using 3rd hand to hold products in place and later crop it out in post production. I am very impressed with this little helping hands. It comes with a heavy metal plate which is powder coated and the helping hands have flexible arms with powerful magnet to hold anything in place. Steel plate comes with non slip sticky pads to protect the surface from being scratched.It will last a life time and can be used in various ways for art and craft, for soldering and photography purposes. I am very happy with my purchase.

Not used for the purpose I bought it for at the moment. I have had a look and tried the magnet bases to the metal plate and they have a good strong grip and plenty more than needed the flexible arms will be very sturdy and unable to topple with the strength of magnets.assembly is simple following instructions and not bad price either.

Fantastic

Super handig

Excelente calidad. Un producto robusto y bien construido

Both Kotto products I purchased for courses have been surprisingly well made for their price point, and shipped quickly.I can fit the Kotto Fume Extractor on the base plate for these helping hands, and have them circle around to hold a PCB directly in front of the fan and filter.I was very skeptical of "helping hands" because most models looked unstable, poor quality. The excellent ones were nearly $100 for something that looked like it wouldn't fit at my workstation, or they would have large shipping costs and customs fees. This one is a relatively small piece of sturdy, powder coated steel with strong magnetic arms and clips with rubber grips, and rubber footpads. Just the right balance of quality and price for my workstation.It's easy to underestimate the difference that a stable hold on a PCB makes until you've had to SMT solder by hand. Kotto's doing an excellent job at what they make; unlike other fume extractors, for example, the Kotto one has enough power to pull fumes from as far as 9 inches away.If, like me, you're trawling amazon for a good deal, this is one of them.

Ottimo prodotto: davvero comodo e funzionale.La base in metallo è solida e sufficientemente pesante da offrire stabilità anche con board più pesanti del normale.I due bracci magnetici si posizionano liberamente e restano ben fermi una volta regolati, risultando pratici e affidabili durante l'uso.Le pinzette di ritenzione sono dotate di rivestimento in gomma (removibile), ideale per evitare danni a schede o componenti delicati.Apprezzata anche la pinzetta di ricambio inclusa nella confezione: un dettaglio che dimostra attenzione.

Es absolutamente magnífico. Muy útil. Pesa mucho y no se mueve. Las pinzas sujetan muy bien.
