Soldering Station Helping Hands with Magnifying Glass Third Hand Stand Solder Tool PCB Holder Circuit Board Soldering Kit - Heavy Duty Base Plate | Four Flexible Arms

Updated:Bumping this from a 3 to a 5 star due to exceptional customer service which directly addressed my only previous complaints.I wish it was easier to rectify issues like this without having to do the "review > wait and hope for response" dance just to get in contact with sellers, but I guess I did choose to shop here.Original Review:The look and feel of the entire kit is exactly as advertised with a few exceptions with what I believe to be an issue with quality control. The base plate is dense and sturdy, magnets strong and stable enough to hold things in place as expected, flexible arms hold their position well after maneuvering.The only issues I have are:1) The package I received was missing the bottom mounting piece of one of the alligator clip arms. Essentially making one of the arms useless unless I can figure out another way to mount it to the plate.2) The included magnifying glass is foggy with visible imperfections. Not the biggest deal, but it does make it hard to use for very long.I'm still on the fence about returning it, so for now I'll just leave this review and hope that others got the full package as expected.

Glad I finally bought one of these, it helps a lot!

This was purchased for some tiny solder jobs on electronics. I was impressed at how sturdy and stable the arms are. I don't foresee having any issues with parts moving while working on them. The magnifying glass also works nicely. The weight is substantial, the assembly easy, and overall I have no complaints whatsoever. At $20 this was a great deal to avoid risking soldering burns or parts getting damaged.Everything matches the description exactly except they upgraded me from the tiny 4-slot parts box to the 10-slot one.

My son has a soldiering station, this is a must have for his work. He appreciates the extra hands. Simple to put together. The base is nice and wide for stability. Great for the price.

The assembly is sturdy, expected value for its price, not too heavy but weighs well enough for it to function, and will be useful during operation. It holds a circuit board pretty well, just may feel a bit odd to use at first, but I believe the more I use it the greater its capability will become. The main reason why this is 3 stars is due to the assembly instructions that come with the product being subpar, arguably completely useless and inaccurate. I wouldn’t rely on it completely when building the station.

Working with small wiring projects was a challenge until I purchased this soldering station. The magnifying mirror can be maneuvered around to any of the 4 clips. The clips hold wire securely for soldering and having 4 clips allows for multiple soldering tasks, allowing them to cool in a secure location. Great product, like having an extra pair of stable hands.

Good: Has lots of extra parts if you lost a bolt etc. Decent strength to hold the boards as shown in the video. Perfect for fixing a gaming controller logic board which is the same size as the photo of this. The base plate is heavy, and the rubber feet are strong so everything is kept in place.Bad: I wish the magnifying glass was 2X the size - sometimes you have to close one eye. The directions are .... well not good. They give you these rubber washers without telling you what they are for. The solder gun holder is kinda small.

This is like having an octopus as a helper can't have too many hands sometimes
