Quote from: jadew on April 12, 2015, 09:47:21 amWouldn't it be simpler to just solder a small wire? Probably takes a lot less than trying to position some whacky probe holder.My colleagues do this with sometimes 10-15CM wires. Signal integrity is a magic world.I prefer soldering a small, 1-2mm hook. Best is a 1K resistor to SMA, SMA cable, BNC adapter scope, 50Ohm. 1:20.

I've seen this "technique" (the long wires) way too often.

I've seen this "technique" (the long wires) way too often.... this would already make three of us! seriously though, at least for the two of us, the chance we both work for the same enterprise isn't even that low...
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.
