As a passionate hobby solderers I have been most difficult to do with only two hands, one has but often in one hand and a component in the other like a wire or that one wants ersteremanbringen on. Unfortunately, then missing still the solder .. When I but accidentally discovered this product on Amazon, me the positive reviews and the low price have immediately moved to buy. And it has made definitively paid: The third hand has her name quite rightly, it is an excellent aid for all craft work, not necessarily only during soldering. The brackets hold a lot more solid than one might think, the device is very safe thanks Vollmetallfuß that Lupe is also great, although I need very rarely, they can also easily fold down or even dismantle, if you want. Processing defects, the "third hand" is not in the least, everything keeps super solid, the hinges do not like or bend, the magnifying glass has no scratches, streaks or similar and the foot also does not wobble. Only the painting of the iron foot is sometimes a little messy, but that's criticism at the highest level, and finally the magnifying glass should not be used as decorative items yes.
In this respect, this product for every hobbyist is thoroughly recommended.
Note: The box, in which was the product came with me unfortunately completely crushed in a consignment of (thankfully was the third hand is not damaged), which may also lie in the transport, but in particular a close look was also very dirty and I'm not sure whether the device was actually so new. As she was cleaning after a short but technically sound, I have not returned, which was located anyway hardly worthwhile at this price. As this has nothing to do with the product per se, but rather with the seller (NOx divendo), there are of course no penalty in the review.
