Product Information

If you are a professional in DIY electronics or even a beginner, you would understand the importance of having this in your tool kit. In this article, we are going to list down some of the best soldering helping hands available to buy online. We have curated this list on the basis of 4 key factors. They are;

Foundation: The foundation of a solder helping hand is very important. This Base will provide you with a foundational weight that will keep the elements in the hand, in place without moving them. The base foundation of the device needs to be heavy and sturdy enough that it does not move very easily. Also, please bear in the mind that the foundation board should also be broad enough to be able to hold the width of a good-sized PCB board apart from regular elements too. Like most of the Kotto products, this one too comes with a 30 days satisfaction guaranteed return window and US-based customer support too. Arms: The arms refer to the tentacle-like ornaments which would provide the height required to lift up the elements to be soldered. The thing that you need to remember at this juncture is that the hands need to be as flexible as possible and still need to retain enough sturdiness to hold the elements up in the air. Beaded tentacles are much preferred. On full extension, the stand can go up to a width of 10.5 inches and a height of 7.75 inches other than having a great base build quality, the customer service of the product could be improved a little.

The helping hand may not have a wide metal base but it comes with the great build quality and awesome accessories studded to it. Starting with it is the 3x zoom magnifying glass. This lets you inspect your project for greater detail and perform a better job.

Even the alligator tip clamps that come with the device are strong and have a 360-degree rotation to them. Made out of solid weighted steel construction, the clips are durable and have a very strong grip on them. It also most importantly comes with accessories such as a magnifying glass cum LED light as well. This magnifying glass can zoom in on the project 3 times (3x) when looked from above. Last on our list is the Zega Crafts helping hand with a magnifier glass. The design schema of the Zega Crafts tool is just like the Ram Pro soldering station but unlike the Ram Pro, the Zega Crafts tool does not have an LED light but has a powerful Magnifying glass to it. Thus, this innovative flex design let you use the soldering iron steadily for a longer period. In addition, it comes with a heavy powder-coated steel 8X8 inches X-shaped base with rubber feet that allows you to work comfortably on the bench or desk without moving. Also, it prevents getting any scuffing or scratching on the work surface. Aiding to the magnifying glass is a focus beamed LED light. This will further illuminate your project and aid in getting a highly detailed output. The magnifying glass is made out of high-quality impact-resistant glass whereas the LED lamp is powered by a battery.Now to the magnifying glass, it has a 3X capacity to let you have a zoomed-in look at the elements in the project. Included in it is a USB powered flashlight to illuminate the entire set up. The light has a 3 section settings that let you adjust the brightness too which is an add on The magnifying glass set up also has a small 5-watt neutral colour LED which acts as a table light thus lighting up the details thus adding more detail through the PureView Optical Glass. This light can be powered using any USB adapter through a laptop, computer or a power outlet too. It has a total of 4 rubber-based arms that are durable and highly flexible. These clamps can be rotated to a 360 degrees and let you take any position you desire for your elements. Accessories: Apart from the basics, a few of the solder helping hands also come with accessories that you might find interesting and quite helpful. For example, some boards come with an LED light that would illuminate your work and a few even come with a fan of sorts that would aid in faster cooldown of the solder etc.,

With a strong metal plate as its base, the tool has heavyweight to it and the bottom of the base has strong rubber feet to prevent slipping and it won’t tip over easily due to wind or any small accidents. The Chanseon soldering station is soldering helping hand with a very sturdy metal base and a hollow. A soldering helping hand is a nifty tool that aids in holding the circuit board and ensuring a proper solder joint. As the name suggests, they are a pair of mechanical hand-like clutches that hold together circuit boards, electronic components, or wires to facilitate an error-free joint creation.Furthermore, the manufacturer offers a lifetime warranty on this third hand to have peace of mind in its usage.
