Magnetic AnyPosition Arms, Soldering Hands

I'm a product photographer and this is so helpful in holding things in place for me to photograph. It's easy to make products look like they're floating or standing up. I've attached an image I took of some jewelry. You'll see that the bracelet looks like it's standing up on its edge. I attached a clear nylon string to the bracelet and then used one of the arms from this Third Hand Soldering Tool to suspend it. Each arm has a magnet on the bottom, so if you're using a metal table, like I was, you can just stick the arm to the table. Great quality, super solid materials and a great value for the money.

Very happy with this! Was using an "old school" third-hand (couple of flex arms and an adjustable magnifying glass) and it was fairly small with limited arm reach as well as the arms being controlled via wing nuts. A friend got this one and showed it off to me as he liked it so much. Got one after that and really like it. The arms are substantial and stiff enough for holding/managing larger and heavier items than what I was using. Also like that it comes with 4 arms (the version I ordered) and you can get more. The clips are a nice size and have thick protectors so they grip board and such well. Has nice weight so it does not shift around or have any possibility of tipping. The arm bases are magnetic to they not only stay in place when you use them but my work bench has a steel frame so I can use it with that as well (nice plus).

Good product, but quite heavy, it can be an issue for some purposes like mine

The stand is great, but the arms weren't quite as maneuverable as I had imagined. It can be difficult to get them at the right angle to support what you're working on. Otherwise, they work as intended and are sturdy.

The third hand soldering tool was perfect for HO scale vehicle repair. The arms are flexible and will hold items in their position for gluing etc.

I bought this for several reasons, including soldering. But I use it the most for evaluating vintage/antique jewelry and gemstones. I can hold a ring at any angle with the helping hands, which leaves both of my hands free to manipulate special lights and loupe. The table is heavy. The magnets firmly hold the arms steady and in place.

I bought this to assist working on model aeroplanes. I build mostly WWI. This is a soldering tool, but it serves well while rigging biplanes or attaching small parts or subassemblies. I cannot think of anything bad to say about it. If it gets fatigued, it hasn’t said anything to me. The heavy metal plate stabilizes my work . The heavy duty magnets anchor the flexible arms. I wish I had found this sooner. Highly recommended!

Works great for me. The base is quite heavy and sturdy. The magnets on the arms are very strong. I use them for holding wires together on vehicles that I am repairing or installing audio systems in. They hold to very well to the car body (even with a small piece of felt under them to keep from damaging the vehicles surfaces). The arms a pretty flexible and the clamps are of good quality also. I would recommend buying this product.

It's great, solid base, strong magnets, good clips, good length on hands.

I will recommend this product.

Viene muy bien empacado y protegido. Las bases de los "brazos" son imantados y se pueden cambiar de ubicacion dentro de la placa metalica. ¡Excelente ayuda a la hora de soldar!

This is a great product. The arms are stiff enough, each. The alligator clips are threaded & lock in any orientation. Double or triple up on arms if you're soldering with a lot of pressure. The metal base if hefty, the magnets are strong, the package included 2 extra clips as well as 4 extra rubber feet. I truly felt like this came from a N. American factory, as the quality is exponentially greater than a Chinese variant and, the company displayed generosity. I'm looking very forward to using it.

Why did I wait so long to buy this? If you do a lot of soldering,crafting, anything you could use another hand for this is great. The base is nice and heavy so it stays put and the arms are nice and strong. Another great feature is that since the arms are magnetic you can use the while working on your vehicle because they will hold to any metal surface. Super handy while soldering lights etc. Excellent Product!!
