Helping Hands
Guess what it's for. Come on, take a shot.
Yep, that's right - it holds stuff in place with posable alligator clips. Good for soldering, and other stuff too, I guess. It really beats holding hot things with your fingers, "hands" down!
There are versions available with magnifying lenses, iron holders, and other whatnot, but mine is a plain version. It's still "handy," though!
These are a really clever idea - let's give a big "hand" to their inventor!
Okay, sorry about all the puns. I got carried away. The bottom line, though, is that if you solder things, you should get a pair of Helping Hands, because they're so useful and only cost about $5.
