This review is for the "QuadHands Magnetic Arm 200 - 12" Flexible Metal Arm..." (Part # QH-200, ASIN B01NCQN3B2).Super handy - makes soldering a lot easier. These things are the best soldering "helping hand" device I've used so far. Way more easier to use - and stable - than the ones with an alligator clip on each end of a horizontal rod (and usually has a magnifying glass). I have one 8" QuadHand and one 12". For me the 12" is a little more useful than the 8". I advise getting at least two of them at once, since having two of them is a lot more than twice as useful as having just one.I just put another 12" in my cart so I can more quickly solder more parts back to back, moving directly from soldering one part to soldering the next. I won't have to put down the solder and the iron and then fiddle with putting the next part in the clip every time. Just by luck I happen to have a cheap but sturdy table with a mild steel tabletop which makes using the QuadHands super convenient.

QuadHands Magnetic Arm 200 -12'' size is the perfect solution for me! I l♥ve macro photography, mainly flowers, and have been trying to find something to not only hold a flower in place (when I am shooting indoors), but also something that would enable me to position flowers in different angles, and this is perfect! The magnet is extremely strong so you don't have to worry about it tipping over especially if you use it to hold items that you are trying to repair. I purchased a 16'' steel tool box to attach it to which I also use to store two small tripods and a few other small photography-related items.When capturing photos of fresh flowers indoors I will be inserting the flowers in floral water tubes to prevent the flowers from wilting so quickly. (The flower in the attached pictures in this review is a silk Gerbera Daisy). I am sure that QuadHands Magnetic 12'' Arm will hold the floral water tubes very securely and because these magnetic arms are so flexible I am sure they will help me to get the flowers in perfect positions so that I can capture some creative shots without being concerned that the flowers will move out of place as they do when I try to take pictures of them in vases. I love my QuadHands Magnetic Arm and I think you will too!

Functions as intended. Good strong magnet.

Definitely a helpful tool, gets good used. I wouldn't get anything shorter than the 12", which sometimes can be a bit too short to bend where I need it bc of the bend radius. Would buy 16" one if I bought it again. The only complaint is the alligator clip unscrews easily, so sometimes it comes loose when you are trying to position it. Other than that minor detail, the magnet is plenty strong and it's a handy tool.

Great third hand! I bought an inexpensive steel toolbox (that I wanted anyway) instead of the base because I didn't wanna drop a lot of money on the full Quadhands without trying a hand first. I will very likely be buying the full tool with the base because it works great! I have 0 complaints. It even comes with little covers so the teeth don't scratch your project. It holds its position very well and the magnet is quit strong
