High end helping hands

[nzCdog]

And to think I have 2 Erem reverse action tweezers that haven't come out of the box yet....    Time to do something about that...

Make it so

I use a PanaVise Junior and the speedwheel attachment (critical, in my opinion). I also have one of the big/expensive PanaVise units, which has a cool solder/wire holding coil (acts as a third hand), but frankly I get the most use out of the Junior.

I have the usual panavise and others.  Now that the majority of my work is in SMT, I have found the Stickvise to be a great addition:

Yeah, I think I'm going to get one of those.  That'll fit nicely under a microscope.

That's a nice vise. I may have to treat myself.

I picked one of these up recently. It doesn't do everything a "helping hands" would do, but it is much better for loading PCBs!

I was just about to post this. I've got one as well, it does what I need. Age that it's not quite as versatile as helping hands, but it's much better than they are for just laying pcbs. Also brings the work up closer to my venting fan so there are less fumes blowing straight at me.

Yup.  I got one, too.  It's very useful.

I bought one of those blue pcb holders on amazon.  I used it maybe once or twice but eventually I reverted back to just using my own 2 hands and some blu-tack. It's a nice tool but IMO it causes as many problems as it solves. Won't be a change your life purchase by any means.
