YoungRC Soldering Station with 6 Flexible Soldering Helping Hand Arms Soldering Tool for DIY Soldering,Assembly, Repair, Modeling, Hobby

Very sturdy and works as intended. The alligator clips are easy to open and keep a firm grip on material. I paired it with another product due to the light but those arms on the other one (black) are way too stiff so the blue helps out marvelously.

The soidering station is a extra set of hands that can be used for manu differant hobby projects , Great product, great price, great communication , very sturdy and functional , Thank you amazon for making this possible

This is a great set up for handling small electronics tasks. The base is aluminum, providing a sturdy platform in a small foot print. The "arms" seem to be of good quality and stay where you position them. At the moment I can not find anything of concern.

This thing is pretty helpful when soldering hobby projects. Keeps everything in place while you just worry about the soldering. Would recommend to any hobbyist with a soldering station

I added a magnet

Very good for holding things in place. If you have a very hyperspecific situation. Where you need to have things held down in place. Its great. Its just the best. The arms are quite extensive, very well articulated. Not to mention their length.

Just don’t need dr octopus holding a proffie board

Really nice stand, I used it in a low profile and it was very stable and you don't have to install all 6 arms I only put 3 and it is great. It has a nice CNC aluminum base with little trays to hole your screws. the arms are easy to adjust and stay in place Alligator clip can be rotated in position if needed.

This is a reasonably decent soldering station/helping hand that seems well-made (albeit typical) and for the most part works just fine without issues; however, the aluminum alloy base is significantly smaller than expected despite the fact that works just fine for my needs (close call though). The 6x arms are made of plastic (i.e. ABS/PC) typically found for most others and while they are reasonably stiff, precision adjustment is rather difficult, if not impossible, in many cases since they aren't 100% rigid and still have quite a bit of wiggle room to deform without changing its shape. In any event, the arms do work just fine although it does take me quite a while to make finer adjustment. That said, the quality of the alligator isn't as good as anticipated based on what's being portrayed in the ads because they aren't as strong (and even a bit flimsy at times) as expected although they aren't the worse that I've seen. I should also mention that the alligator clips DO have rubber grip/insulation sleeves on them despite the fact that current images don't appear to show them (but they DID show them before and the images somehow got changed). Alligator clips without rubber grips would've been a deal breaker for me though. The aluminum alloy base also works just fine although it's significantly smaller than expected. It's also much lighter than anticipated since it's, well, relatively smaller in comparison to most others with much larger metal/steel base. It does have 6x rubber feet so stability isn't an issue. ≡ Value All things considered, this is a reasonably decent soldering station/helping hand with 6x plastic/ABS arms that seems well-made and for the most part works just fine without issues; however, precision adjustments for these ABS/PC arms are difficult and the aluminum alloy base is smaller than expected, which is a bit of a bummer. It's somewhat reasonably priced at $34 for what it provides and its overall apparent build quality, usability, versatility, and performance. Your mileage might vary.
