I prefer soldering a small, 1-2mm hook. Best is a 1K resistor to SMA, SMA cable, BNC adapter scope, 50Ohm. 1:20. --- End quote --- Do you happen to work for the same company as I do? I've seen this "technique" (the long wires) way too often. |

I'm digging up an old thread rather than start a new one. I like the Harbor Freight item (https://www.harborfreight.com/multipositional-magnetic-base-with-fine-adjustment-5645.html), but wondering if anyone has made a 3D holder? My needs would be for various scope probes and meter leads, so I'd need something that can adapt to different lead types. Recently I began repairing a board with 0402 components and need a spare hand. Something that would hold a probe lead and/or multi meter leads would be great. |

I haven't used mine to hold probes, but for getting dial indicators into strange positions quickly, they can't be beat. |
