This is a very useful piece of equipment for holding items whilst soldering. I also like the fact it comes with a variety of reverse action tweezers. It was a little bit fiddly to assemble, as there are no instructions, but as I already have another third hand, I was able to copy the layout to put my new one together. The base is fairly small but it's weighty enough to hold items in place without toppling over. Pleased with my purchase.
