I was tired of burning my fingers every welding job, then here, I found my third hand and is very convenient. Two alligator grips allow to hold two parts of a room, a magnifying glass allows for a focus on the work area and can be brought penne and welding a well maintained place under this magnifying glass. You can reach the two clamps, remove one, remove the lens, it's pretty convenient. The base is a bit light, but for the occasional DIY, that's enough. In short, a handy tool that allows to maintain a precision work.
