Helping Hands
AKA: Electrician's Friend, Third Hand
WARNING:
Never use this device with live wires. The body is completely conductive!
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.
