Handiest thing I've bought in a while. Really wish I had thought of it. So simple and small, yet so useful. No more rubber band around the pliers for me .

I was kinda expecting broken engrish and things getting rost in transration their website says $21.95 and free shipping, and one free set of alligator clips. looks like a good investment. quite possibly the vice holding the deans plugs should keep the plastic from warping in case of too much heat applied to the connector over time Last edited by ClassicGMJunkie; 08-19-2011 at 07:32 AM. |

I've been in this hobby since the early 80's, so I've done my share of soldering. My LHS had a few in stock a few months ago so I picked one up. Have to say with as many rc's as I have this is one of the best little investments I've made. Very handy for all kinds of connectors, the insert (looks like delrin to me) works great for keeping the heat in the connector. I figured out a neat trick. If you put your Deans plug in the right way, you can tip the whole jig up on its side and solder the positive terminal without taking it out of the jig. I would recommend it to anyone who solders a lot and has an extra $25 laying around...although I would say buy a good iron first.

| Awesome!
I own one and they are awesome, great idea. 25 bucks isnt bad for one of these, just consider how much time you save from trying to jerry rig some other crap to make it work the same way. Time is money and RC time. LIK |
