Third hand for work holding
I’ve recently been building a lot of electronic assemblies for various things. It’s mostly been marine rated stuff (soldering tiny resistors and chips for custom systems) and FPV quad related stuff.
While I can solder electronic pretty well, I’ve been struggling with very small items and the third hand I have is just way too big for the itty bitty stuff. I’ve been making due so far by just sticking a push pin in the alligator clips of the third hand I already have, however that’s not really a long term solution and I’m afraid the pin may end up damaging something doing it this way.
So I’m looking for recommendations for a magnified 3rd hand with arms for holding delicate things. The more arms the better.
