Excellent addition to my soldering station. Useful for other tasks as well.
This has a very heavy steel base with a nice finish. The arms are nicely flexible and hold their positions well. The clips are nicely made and have a smooth chrome finish. They are much nicer than the alligator clips used on most of the smaller ‘helping hands’ devices I’ve seen (and have a couple of). The magnifying glass doesn’t distort. The adjustable ring light is nice. I thought I would only use it on the brightest setting, but I actually find it useful to adjust it brighter and dimmer depending on what components I’m working on and where on the board they are located. The board holders work very well. The one design change I could suggest is that the ‘points’ (used to hold a board by mounting holes) could be offset to one side of the post. This would allow it to hold very small boards by mounting holes. But they are still very usable.I expect that I will use it for many things beyond assembling electronics. I can also imagine people finding it useful for things like jewelry making and other small crafts.

Great for the price
Yo, if youâre into DIY electronics and haven’t snagged this Magnetic Helping Hand setup yet, youâre totally missing out. This thing is a lifesaver, for real. It comes with everything you need to make soldering and circuit repairs a breeze: a 3X magnifying glass with an LED light, four PCB holders, and four super flexible magnetic arms that you can adjust however you need.The heavy-duty base keeps everything stable, so you donât have to worry about knocking things over while youâre in the zone. Plus, the magnifying glass is clutch for those tiny, hard-to-see components. Makes seeing what youâre working on so much clearer, especially in low light.And let me tell you, the flexible arms? Game changer. They hold everything right where you need it, so you can keep your hands free and focus on the task. No more juggling tools and components.Seriously, this tool set is the real deal at a dope price. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out in electronics, this kit will step up your game. Don’t sleep on it!

Quality product.
Nicely made. All magnets have a thin shield to protect the painted steel work surface (I still would not slide the magnets).Good quality magnifying glass. Lights on the glass work well and have 3 different temperatures as well as the ability to dim or brighten the LEDs.Just a note the small circuit board holders are one piece. The points fit most mounting holes.The alligator clips are all coated and the flexible rods have a set nut that allows you to position the clip into a favorable position. Really strong magnet.

Great Product – Better Customer Support
After receiving this, I was excited to get to work as I had an ongoing project that was delayed due to previously owning inferior helping hands. After receiving the item however, it was missing the alligator clips which are unique to this product.I contacted customer support and literally had a response within a couple of hours, not days, and had a new item in the mail to me within 24 hours. The service was extremely friendly as well.After receiving the clips, I’ve not used this item quite a bit and it is a massive upgrade. The magnetic arms are quite strong not only in their magnetic adhesion to the base, but their ability to maintain form and shape when you manipulate them into position.

I liked it a lot.
The helping hands are great. It’s what you would expect. I don’t think the arms are the most flexible compared to the ball joint type of helping hands. The light/magnifying glass didn’t stay in its position I had and would tilt further over, out of position. The locking rings are a nice addition that allow you to move the gator clips in proper orientation then lock. The metal plate is same on both sides. If you don’t like the logo that is on one side, flip it. The feet come on a paper backing for stickers, requiring you to attach them yourself. This kit will help with soldering projects and make them more comfortable. The light doesn’t get ultra bright, but you can change color temperature of the light and cycle through its brightness. The magnifying glass is a bit helpful. Overall, the PCB and helping hands are a nice addition to help keep your projects in place.

Very sturdy, excellent quality, strong magnets
I was a bit sceptical when shopping for a good soldering station but I think I scored big with this one. The bottom plate is heavy metal and the magnets are very strong. I had considered some of the 10x magnifiers but went with this 3x instead and glad I did. The 3x is plenty adequate, I think the 10x would be too strong. I expect I will be using this for a good long time.

Best Electronics Workbench Addition
This is just what I have needed for a long time. It’s working out great! Good Product !

nice workligt, solid construction
this is a pretty slick little work stand. all the parts are well made and have a sold feel to them. The magnifying glass is cool for old guys who can’t see and overall its great. I do wish it had come with a slick storage case or something, but really nice little product.

The helping hands work really well, and I have my own larger metal surface, but the sheet included is almost 3mm (wow… nice and heavy) with nice paint on it. Magnets work well for the helping hand clips, but not perfect for the magnifying glass… it topples over if it is stretched too far in one direction (expected result of laws of physics). Magnets are powerful enough to actually grab on over my silicone mat, but I cannot foresee any magnet strong enough to handle the magnifying glass stretching out too far from the base.The included light is not very bright, but not bad. I have additional light, so I don’t think anyone should be working in the dark and relying just on these lights, but I am satisfied with the light in my working conditions and is great help.Overall, this is a very good product, I’m very happy with it.

finalmente un accessorio utile che mi piace avere!ho acquistato sia il kit PCBH che MCH e in generale entrambi di ottima qualità ,base e magneti dimensionati correttamente, il campo della lente lo avrei preferito di qualche centimetro in più ampio è comunque sufficiente per la maggior parte di interventi su componenti, l’illuminazione è ben equilibrata, le pinzette sono i soliti coccodrilli ma incappucciati, chissà che un giorno si trovi qualche migliore soluzione, per ora mi accontento!il supporto schede MCH è certamente ben fatto anche se al posto dei galletti preferirei un bloccaggio rapido, Bah!in conclusione, anche se costicchia, sono sodisfatto dell’acquisto.

Endlich mal 3. bis 6. Hand, die meine winzigen Leiterplatten übersichtlich zum Löten festhalten kann. Wenn nichts negativ Unerwartetes passiert, ist der Preis gerechtfertigt.

I’m fusing, and the only thing I regret is…..that I didn’t by this tool earlier !!!!!!! It’s so helpful âºï¸
Lord DrolDecember 24, 2024
When buying this one, I found the price a bit high. But on unboxing the product, it became pretty clear why: it’s all high quality materials.The mount platform is heavy and it won’t slip (rubber feet provided). It’s iron cast, so works very great with the four alligator-arms and the loop-arm (which all have a strong magnet in their foot). The magnets hold the arms in their place, no way you can ‘move’ them accidently. It takes rather a certain amount of force to detach the magnet from the mount platform!The lens works nice and the integrated LED lights provide enough light.The alligator clips are sturdy and strong. If you need stable hands and arm that won’t “move” a bit after being bend into a certain position, this product is your thing!
