is there a more precise version of classic soldering "helping hands" tool?

SiliconWizard:
I have a few of these gooseneck helping hands, that's  handy - although I would like something similar, but with better than alligator clips at the end. That probably exists, haven't looked very hard.

I ordered one of those nifty looking Omnifixo rigs and it was supposed to arrive today.  But apparently the USPS is sending it back as undeliverable because I mistyped my street name ("Cascada" instead of "Cascadia")

 :(

I wonder how long this'll take to sort out?

jpanhalt:
Do you really think such incompetence will be resolved by the USPS?  I get "Informed Delivery."  It is free and is useful but also an eyeopener.  In the past month, I have had two letters lost.  One was a bank statement with account numbers and the second was an IRA distribution check from the same bank.  I reported both as "not delivered" and filed a complaint for the second with the (USPS) inspectors office because of the amount involved.  All I have gotten has been duplicate form letters.

mwb1100:
The  "undeliverable" package made its way back to Omnifixo's Illinois warehouse today, and Johann Zita (the Omnifixo guy) has already taken care of sending another shipment.  So the only delay in getting things sorted things out was ultimately my goof up in fat-fingering my address.

I couldn't have asked for a quicker or better response from Omnifixo.

(hopefully I didn't make another typo giving Johann the correct address)

geoffeg:
A few years ago EEVblog did a video on a very nice set of magnetic helping hands. I remember being impressed but not willing to spend the money at the time. I tried all the usual searches on YouTube and Google but couldn't find the video, anyone have an idea what video it was? I'm ready to buy the Omnifixo, maybe that was what he reviewed?
