Before this, I used to use a $10 metal helping hand from China, but it rusted, didn't hold the circuit boards well, and broke easily. I got this to replace it, and it works perfectly. The arms are really stable and can hold basically any position. My only negative feedback is that the alligator clips do not rotate, but I understand that you can buy ones that do as an upgrade. The price is a bit high compared to some other models, but the high quality durable materials make it worth it. I received mine in really good packaging with a thank-you note and a small surprise (you'll have to buy one to find out what it is!). Overall, a great item provided by a super nice company. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars By FAR the best option out there. *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2016* Here's the deal... I would not have reviewed this without the postcard and the Starburst included in the package. It makes me feel like I'm supporting smaller manufacturers, which I think is great.It's a $50 third hand, and I have a half dozen third hands. So why buy this one? The goosenecks seem to be straight up adapted from CNC liquid cooling fittings, but the nuts between the base and and the arms are injection molded. They work well enough. The base seems to be molded from tooling, but the finishing details are all CNC from what I can see (read: the threads). The anodization is most likely hand done, as the threads didn't grab all of it, but it's still a pretty ridiculously good finish. This is a real tool, especially at the price point.The alligator grips are kinda whatever (it would be nicer if they were copper with contact threading so you could build dynamic circuits with them), but they're so much better than the average third hand. A real benefit to the current setup would be a neodymium magnet in the "part wells" to keep smaller parts there, but it's already so great to have 2 extra hands to hold a component that needs SM work or whatever else that I'm not going to be mad about that.There are things this could do better, but it's dope as eff just by itself. If you're a maker, you want this one. Do it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Total versatility and great control. Does what traditional helping hands can't. *by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2017* I bought this on the recommendation of an engineer friend who thought it was great. After using mine, I wholeheartedly agree. The machined base is heavy enough to stay in one place but not overly heavy or awkward. The arms hold tightly and can be configured for virtually any conceivable position; even in tight spaces. Bending the arms into exactly the position you want is somewhat finicky since the joints are tight, but the overall versatility and strong hold is definitely worth the bit of extra effort. Once you've used one of these, you'll never want to use an old-style helping hand again. No screws to fiddle with, no awkward straight-line angles, four arms instead of two. (Some have said more arms can be added after-market, but officially the limit is four.) I'm 100% satisfied and can definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a better helping hand. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/17040851-hobby-creek-helping-hands-third-hand-soldering-tool](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/17040851-hobby-creek-helping-hands-third-hand-soldering-tool) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
