Very easy to assemble, comes in a pretty small box, nestled in foam cutouts. The steel base is a nice heavy weight, definitely not going to get pushed around easily. The rubber feet are balanced so there’s no wobble. The arms are strong but not difficult to bend like some tablet holders I’ve used in the past. I love the tightening nuts that attach to the alligator clips; you can use these to loosen the clip, swivel it to the right angle then tighten it so it won’t budge once more. Very handy. The clips are very strong and the teeth will hurt so definitely use the black rubber caps to protect skin and circuit boards better.
It’s absolutely terrific for soldering but it also works great for clamping and glueing with other sorts of DIY projects and crafts on a small scale. I don’t solder a whole lot so it’s good to know I can use it for many other tasks. For the price and soldering, it’s likely all you’ll ever need unless you have much heavier/larger or really micro projects. For most other tasks, this is perfect.
All in all, I am very happy with this product and highly recommend it. I'm a baby boomer, retired, electrical/computer engineer and wish I had it many decades ago.
I’ve used it only once and it is SO much better than the smaller one I have. The flexible arms make positioning SO much more convenient and efficient. On my other helping hands, I’m constantly having to find a good angle and position to hold whatever it is that I’m working on, but this tool is brilliant! I’m never going back to my other one after using this.
It’s got a great weight to it, which helps keep it stable (my other one is constantly falling over and needs to be carefully balanced - no issues with that for this device). I also love that it comes with rubber clamp covers and an extra pair of clamps. It also has two extra holes on the plate, which I assume is for you to add extra arms, a light, or a magnifying glass. On that note, I do regret not buying the version with the magnifying glass on it, but that was entirely my shortsightedness.
Good price? Yes
Well built? Very much so
Great value? Absolutely
Do I recommend? 💯
Tips for anyone new to this: buy this instead of the small helping hands. You won’t regret it!
