Toolour Magnetic Helping Hands Third Hand Tool 2 Flexible Metal Arms Alligator Clips Strong Magnet Base - Can Be Put Anywhere for Automobile Electronics Soldering Jewelery Painting Art Crafts Hobby

First time you set these on a metal surface, you will be shocked at how these magnets grip the surface. They can handle a surprising amount of weight for their size. Flexible arms are very tight and stay exactly where you want with no sag. I use them on my welding table and they are a perfect extra set of hands. Awesome product.

Works great. Sticks good to a metal base for a microscope. The only issue is there thumbscrews come loose a lot. If this continues, we'll have to use some loctite.

This product is a good value, with nice quality at a nice price. The arms and clips are of study quality and this purchase even comes with an extra set of alligator clips. The fact that you can move the arms around freely is good, just make sure that the base you attach them to is sturdy. The clips hold on pretty tight and don't damage the items they are holding. It would be nice if the magnet at the base could be a removable option. The magnet is built in so be careful with items that are sensitive to them, like some electronics. Overall, very happy with this purchase!

These are great tools for anyone who solders electronics. I have a set that is very similar to these. Though these are more expensive than others, when I saw in the product's pictures that the base appears to be threaded, I took a chance. That is a feature I need occasionally. I thought that might be why their cost seems high. The base is not threaded. A little side note: If you want the clip to be sturdier, drill a hole through the clip. I then used a rivet to secure it.

These are not always in stock. I grabbed a pair when they became available. Does everything I need it to do. The coverings on the clip jaws are just loosely fit pieces of heat shrink tubing, so I hit the clips with a brief wave of a heat gun and shrunk the coverings securely onto the jaws. You can always add more layers of heat shrink to make the jaws even less likely to mar workpieces.

The magnets work great, was able to place it in a horizontal orientation and magnet held fine with weight. I found the connecting the clamps left something to be desired - could definitely be stronger. The biggest issue for me is the neck positioning. The neck is flexible, but holding a precise position was VERY difficult. The arms sag or want to flex back and settle into a position that was more natural to its form. To be fair, I am using it for a more custom purpose where precision is key; if your intended purpose is holding small items for soldering these will do the job.

The hands come in handy for holding wires to my soldering cups while performing soldering operations. I trimmed a tiny piece off of the shrink tubing so that way when the hands hold the wire, a small portion of the metal can touch the wire. This helps act as a heat sink while soldering so I don't accidentally allow the heat to travel down the wire and shrink the heat shrink before the soldering is complete. Overall the magnets are fines. I think this was designed to hold simple basic things to assist you when you need an extra pair of hands. It is not designed to act as a "mount" of any sort so please don't use this to support your cameras or anything that is bigger than say a small circuit board or other trinket that you are working on. Also, it holds more weight if you are using a more dense type of ferrous metal. With the alloys coming out nowadays, it's hard to get an idea of how strong anything will stick to them. Cast iron works great as well as solid steel. Hope this helps.

These "helping hands" are very useful in the shop since the magnet is extra strong to secure the base and the clip end can be rotated to get precise positioning.

Als ik de advertentie zie, verwacht ik te kopen: 1 grondplaat (basis plaat) 4 armen met klemmen 4 kleine pilars. Na ontvangst blijken het alleen de 2 flexibele armen met klemmen te zijn. Na ontvangst de advertentie nog eens goed bekeken. Uiteindelijk is het heel onduidelijk. Door de foto's wordt de indruk gewekt dat alles geleverd wordt. Lees je heel kritisch, dan zie je uiteindelijk dat het enkel om 2 flexibele armen met klemmen gaat. Ik vind het misleidend.

Je les utilise pour de la macro et ça me convient très bien. A voir si leur bonne souplesse et rigidité dureront dans le temps . . .

Excellent. Just what I hoped they'd be. Strong magnet and jaws. The Flexi shaft bends easily so won't hold a weight so don't think they'll make a hook or anything. As a third hand, which is what they're sold as they're perfect. Would definitely buy again.

Alles ist in Ordnung, aber meine Arbeit erfordert einen stärkeren Magneten.
