Do you have any kind of vise to keep your work in one place? They are what I use the most. For example, a panavise Jr., and "stick vise" (holds small boards flat - and down, all metal, found on ebay for around $5) both hold fairly small PCBs and get a lot of use. I also have a full size Panavise for larger projects - when I am working on one.. (not as often) |

OK, this is not same as helping hands but I find it useful. Simple small vice with pins that are relocatable. It holds small PCBs really well. All metal construction, it's solid, heavy enough to stay put. https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/bench-hand-vices/8496238/ |

By far, these are the best third-hand holders I've ever used, originally for jewelry makers: https://www.grs.com/browse/benchmate-jewelry-tools/third-hands-soldering-stations/ The clips are are precision-made (no floppy alligator clips), and the joints stay exactly where you position them with no back-sliding. I have both the "short" and the "standard" model with individual bases. Not cheap, but highly recommended. I bought mine through Amazon. |
