Magical extra floating hands!

Helping hand when soldering

Helping hands

The helping hand is exactly what it is.the magnifying glass makes doing small jobs easier to see or even great for those people who have vision issues. The small clamps hold whatever you are trying to solder very still wich makes it easier to get the job done .it has a padded base that is also nice so it doesn't mess up any surface you are working on. I really enjoy using this in my workshop whenever something needs repaired or my wife needs something done for her crafting. I would recommend thi...
