Description
The Ultimate Helping Hands ToolWe needed a sturdy, well built helping hands device for use in our product development studio. The ones on the market we tried were flimsy, hard to adjust, and came with tiny little bases that would tip over with anything but the smallest project mounted to them. Plus, we needed some extra "hands" to make it truly useful.
The other devices had only two hands to hold our project. That isn't enough when doing most electronic work. With solder in one hand and an iron in the other, having extra hands to hold wire or a component plus the project was important to us. So, in true "scratch our own itch" fashion, the QuadHands "four armed" helping hand device was created
Four Hands are Better Than Two
Four all metal flexible 'gooseneck' arms can be put exactly where you want and they'll stay. No more fumbling around with tiny set screws or other hard to adjust arms. Just move them where you want and let go.
Four stainless steel alligator clamps are mounted onto the threaded end of the goosenecks. Matched with a thumb nut, each clamp can be rotated 360 degrees in either direction then locked into place. Exactly where you want. This makes precision positioning much easier than other devices. And we even include a set of silicone clamp covers for use on delicate electronics
The solid steel base is a stable 8" by 8" with a heavy powder coat finish. Supported by four large rubber feet, it won't tip over or slide around your bench. Even when you are working on a heavy project. The whole system tips the scale at over 3.2 pounds. Much heavier and larger than others.
The QuadHands is a sturdy, well built device that simply does what it was designed to do. We think it is exactly the type of product you would have built for yourself given the time and inclination. Consider getting one for your bench today.

Turn, Tilt and Rotate Clamped Items at Will
The PanaVise Model 201 Junior miniature vise is a versatile, multi-use mini-vise that is suitable for use in everything from arts and crafts, to model making, electronics and other small projects. Lightweight, yet durable, the vise is designed around a vise head assembly constructed of a black glass reinforced thermal composite alloy connected to a die cast zinc base by PanaVise's patented ball joint clamp system, known as a "split-ball." The split-ball system not only holds items within the vise head assembly securely in position, but also allows for maneuvering of them along three separate planes. The complete range of mobility possible with the split-ball joint clamp system is a 210-degree tilt to the left or right, along with either an angled rotation or level turn range of 360 degrees. This range of mobility, especially the large left-to-right tilt, allows you to rearrange items being worked on into virtually any position, limiting the need to adjust the overall position of the vise or the item within the vise.

The head assembly of the PanaVise 201 Junior miniature vise contains a number of convenient additional features users will find valuable. The first of these revolves around is its ability to securely and safely hold items. Although the 1" wide by 2" tall, the jaws of the 201 Junior miniature vise are able to secure both tough small jobs as well as delicate jobs by way of their dual adjustment mechanism that allows for both course and fine adjustments. In addition, the holding power of the jaws can be softened further with an optional padded accessory for holding extremely delicate items (sold separately). Next, the upper ends of both jaws contain grooved ridges. These ridges are designed for detailed work with flat, angled items like circuit boards. Also, since ideal vise uses such as circuit board wiring and jewelry making, involve soldering, the vise head assembly of the PanaVise 201 Junior miniature vise is highly resistant to heat, with a continuous heat tolerance to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and intermittent heat up to 450 degrees F (204 degrees C).
Flexible Base Mount Options
The PanaVise 201 Junior miniature vise offers great flexibility of its mount possibilities. The zinc base included can be used as a stand-alone support when working with light items, or can be used to secure the vise permanently to a flat surface via its three countersunk holes (screws not included). In addition to this, the PanaVise 201 Junior miniature vise is compatible with a range of base accessories that allow for mounting and using your vise wherever your work takes you.

3. Adjustable PCB Printed Circuit Board Soldering and Assembly Holder Frame / Rotisserie, spring-clamp, with rotation-lock
Feature
Adjustment Increment: ContinuousDescription
PCB Frame
This frame will hold standard PCBs between 2 clamps for easy assembly and soldering. The rotisserie setup allows the board to be turned without removing it from the spring-loaded clamp, but it can also be locked using the set-knob.
Simply insert the PCB and rotate it to have the component side up, insert one or more components and then just rotate the board in the rotisserie, solder the components and rotate it again to place additional components. There is no need to remove the board between each round because the clamps allow for easy rotation (which can be locked down).
The unit will accomodate boards of varying width by moving one or both of the uprights along the bar, all the way up to 9 inch wide PCBs.
