Hi, I was watching an old EEVblog and Dave uses what looks like some magnetic handles to hold the PCB steady while he solders. I have a similar thing but with little clips on the end of bendy magnetic arms and they work OK, but not great. I'd love to pick up a set of whatever he's using. Does anyone have a name or a link for whatever it is? Screenshot attached. |

Hakko also makes this thing https://www.amazon.com/Hakko-C1390C-Omnivise-PCB-Holder/dp/B00IX2H050/ It is quite expensive. I've heard good things about it, but I don't have one. |

Thanks! I just ordered some. Hopefully they get here from Sweden quickly! |

Here's the one I have: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Adjustable-PCB-Holder-Printed-Circuit-Board-Soldering-Assembly-Holder-Clamp-Tool/173338492817 <$16 delivered. This is just the first eBay auction that came up, there are plenty more for the same item. Fancy? No. Does the job at a remarkable price? Definitely. |

I hadn't seen or payed attention to those before. I like the hakko omnivise, granted too expensive but not hard to make with a metal late, big chunk of steal (round stock, ø50mm to ø60mm) put a hole on the middle and tap. Screw and biiiig washer and that's pretty much it. The washer could be made from the same round stock in a first lathe operation. I have to go to may turner tomorow to pick up a parts I asked for last week and I'm definitely asking him. JS |
