| Re: Terrific New Helping Hand "ThirdHandMan" for Soldering This is what I'm mainly looking forward to. Being able to leave something attached to the rig while I solder it together. When I saw your photo of the hands reaching up into the rig I knew I was sold on it, lol. Batteries and loose connectors are usually not a problem with the old fashioned tools.

Thank you for the great review MailManX... and all the kind comments, if you have a custom clamp you'd like on my Third Hand throw the idea by me and I'll see if I can fit an arm with it, besides the alligator clips and large clips I also attach stork cross locking pliers. Thanks again! |

My pleasure! It's easy to write about a product that impresses me. I love using the Third Hand Man tool that you designed and sell. The new arm you sent to me with the stork attachment is my favorite. The length and slenderness of the stork pliers allows them to reach farther and into narrower places. They are also more tolerant of high heat soldering with a butane torch. Since the flexible arms are plastic, it's good to keep the heat further from the arms. However, I've used the butane torch with the regular alligator clips without any problem. To to the other RCC Forum members: Bob takes custom orders in addition to what you see on his ebay listings. I highly recommend The stork plier attachment on at least one of the four arms. You can also order extra arms with various different attachments since they are so easily interchangeable on the base. Screw one out and another one in by hand in just seconds. I have a total of five arms for the one base. | |
