Where can I pickup a "third hand" soldering tool?

I would prefer to pick one up locally if possible, but I'm not sure who carries them?

Thanks.

I've seen them on Radio Shacks site before.....Long time ago though.

Looking through the books at work,I seen them somewhere but can't remember. Either MSC,Grainger or Mcmaster

Yeah there is one near my office, I couldn't find them on their website so I thought maybe they didn't carry them.

I'll stop by there and look for one.

Thanks.

Thanks guys.

I can't seem to find them on Home Depot or Rat shack's website, but I'll stop and have a look there if I don't have any luck at Harbor Freight.

I just found one on amainhobbies.com for $15 also, and I do need to order a servo from them so I could go that route if needed.

I got mine at All Electronics Man, I miss having that place 2 blocks from work, they have so much cool stuff it's not even funny.

My LHS also carries them, you could suggest it to them, anyone who's got to solder a dean's on can use one of these.

Man, I forgot how much awesome chinese crap they have at Harbor Freight!

Got myself a helping hand soldering tool with a goofy magnifying glass, a set of T handles for my taps, and a pack of cheap drill bits for less than $14.
