It doesn't work that way, since the arms are screwed into a very sturdy, steel base with
Without a doubt! There is only one screw connecting each of the four arms, so they do not need to be tightening If you wanted to remove the arms, it would be easy to do so. Even the little claw hands screw out, adding to their ease of removal and/or replacement. One caution I'd give is that the adhesive on the four little black feet of the chair isn't leading to the feet being held on very well. It would be best to attach the foot with something like super glue to an arm if you wanted to remove it.
In my opinion, this device is designed to hold printed circuit boards and/or wiring assemblies to be soldered. Alligator clips on the arms do not open very wide, so one will have a difficult time using this to grip and support larger objects or assemblies. The arms are reasonably stiff and hold their position when adjusted, but they are not very flexible. This is what I think

Clearly, this is a cheap knockoff of the name brand, but it costs less than half of its original cost. As a whole, the quality seems to be adequate and any signs that this is a knockoff are purely aesthetic in nature. Please note - There were strands of rubber cement covering it, I don't know why. Please note - I am not happy with the yellow color of the paint job- As the arms are all the same length, this is not really a problem but one characteristic that makes the design different from the name-brand Please note - Despite the fact that it's easy to assemble, setup is required. It comes with spare parts as well, which is a nice bonus. However, I knocked a star off for the manufacturing shortcuts and having to remove the glue from.
The complexity of my soldering jobs has increased, so I bought this. My experiments do not simply consist of replacing batteries, but instead of installing and removing resistors, LEDs, etc. A lot of helpful information has been offered on this helping hand base. With just two claws, the base is sturdy enough to support a 10x5 inch PCB (maybe an AM/FM radio project board) at almost any angle. As soon as I opened the box, I had the hands set up in less than five minutes. It has four arms, six claws, and six holes where you can insert In addition to the two holes centered on either side of the long side of the base, there are two holes at each corner. A thin layer of what looks like hot glue was on the base when I took it out of the box, but it was easily wiped away. The very same day I set it up, I was able to repair a necklace for my mother. That kind of detail work like that can be accomplished with the arms, since they are flexible. It would be wise if you avoided using the rubber covers on the claws if you were going to heat up the component on it. Unless they are covered in a heat resistance material, the covers are prone to melting. If you hold the component you're heating up, the claws can also get hot. Despite those two cautions, I would recommend this product highly. The materials aren't as high quality as QuadHands (a name brand product based on this one), but you can live with the base being more rough and the arms all being the same length for the price.
My life changed seven years ago when I became It's been a couple of years since I lost my left hand. My life has finally become more fulfilling thanks to this brilliant tool. Because of it, I'm able to do what I love most -.
The size was larger The size was a pleasant surprise for me as I did not check the dimensions before buying. To be honest, I was expecting this to be cheap and small like the other helping hand I have with a magnifying glass and small thumb screws all over it. To get a better idea of size, check out the pic of the electric screwdriver. It was the first thing I noticed when I took the product out of the box how sturdy the base plate was. (wishful thinking) I think it is powder coated steel and is around 3/16" thick. I like how the adjustable arms are firm, but have the ability to be adjusted easily. It is super useful to be able to adjust gator clips via thumbnuts. A second and third clip was also It had already been assembled when I assembled it, and I had to solder a new plug on the battery A great job done and one of the easiest I've ever done to change plugs.
It is a great idea to have these. With alligator clips it is easy to position them. As the arms do not have much spring, they stay about where you place them, making it easy to place the wire/part where you want it on the circuit board. One issue is they can sometimes become loose where they mount, so you may have to flip it over and tighten it. The problem is that once the wheels become loose, they just spin freely. I think I may need to use some loc-tight and crank them down or something similar. I love the product and I am satisfied with my purchase.
For soldering this is one of the best "helping hands" tools you can find. This was a well-made product, assembling it was a breeze. There are four flexible arms and one metal plate. The metal plate itself weighs two pounds. It provides a sturdy platform at a weight of 5 pounds. We like the vinyl boots that go on the alligator clips. As appropriate to the surface hardness or temperature of the work to be held, it is easily attached or removed. I found the knurled nut on each alligator clip to be a nice surprise Clips can easily be rotated so that each can be viewed in any Adding this table to my workbench is overall a great idea.
There were no mistakes in the painting of my metal plate. Boxes contained everything we needed. However, many others seem to have experienced the same problem I have. The screw would only go halfway into one of the legs because one of the legs was not tapped properly. The washers that I had in my toolbox helped me keep that leg tight, even though the screw wasn't able to go all the way in. Besides that, the other three legs were easy to assemble, except for one that was extremely tight and I almost couldn't get the screw in fully. In addition, I did not cross-thread at all. About half of the length was very easy, but after that, it became a bit difficult.
I noticed in the description that the alligator clips spin around 360 degrees. I had to think about how that was supposed to work for a while. Often they are painted or fused in place, which makes it very difficult to remove them. Although I mention this, it can be a challenge to get those nuts unstuck without marring the paint or causing the goose neck to break. The only one of the four has been able to come loose so far. The goose neck as a last point isn't that good. When you try to get it in a position, it tends to spring By distributing curves over as much of the length as possible, I found the spring back to be mitigated.
