Information

This tool holds things in position when you need both hands for soldering. To solder two wires together with this tool, just use the clips at either end to each hold one piece of wire and then move them into the right position for soldering. You can tighten the clips to prevent movement and use the magnifying glass, if necessary, to aid your view of the join.

"Educational, Inspirational And Very Funny"

I've had the privilege of following Burtman.net, over the years, with all the exciting things it's been adding. I enjoy the stories while sipping endless cups of tea, as I've learned from Burtman. I love diving into his ridiculous scenarios and getting infected by his road trip religion. Everything's accessible and relatable (even technical stuff) and shows how making mistakes leads to learning. I'm inspired by that. I'm always left with a big smile on my face and I always want to return. - Natku
