I am not much to write reviews but this product is amazing, It is small and does not take up space. The product also is super strong on the magnetic it provides. The platform has a nice weight to it.

Although small it is pretty heavy and stable, comes in very handy when needed. Priced right too.

It's smaller than it looks, but work just fine. Although the two main arms have adjustable angle, I feel there still quite limited, which why the two extra are quite nice. The grip is tight, but not to tight to break anything. The one thing that could be improved is the flex arms, which are the loose in my opinion. Overall, it's a good product, but not the best.

I’m an avid electronics tinkerer, and I’ve purchased all sorts of different tools and whatnot to aid with soldering. I’ve tried just about every style of “helping hands” for soldering, from the super cheap to the overpriced.I can honestly say that I’ve never seen such a perfectly designed product than this. The magnets are STRONG. The entire assembly is infinitely adjustable AND super stable. The base is VERY heavy, and believe me…you WANT a heavy base!I’ve easily spend nearly $100 total on all sorts of “helping hands” tools and this one outperforms ALL of them, and the $12.00 price is an absolute STEAL for the quality and near-infinite flexibility. I would gladly pay double that!

I've always rigged a setup to get the soldering done but for sorry money, its definitely helpful with boards and such.

I won't bother with the usual unboxing - there are other reviews for that, and the listing shows the parts really well. Some of the photos are not comically-poor photoshop and actually show the real thing holding other real things. Those are accurate. It comes with an instruction manual that reads like it was written by an actual English speaker, which is ironic since you don't need instructions to operate it, especially since their photos show everything very well. Still, they get credit for putting in the effort.I got this kit specifically for doing wiring repairs on guitars. I put off repairing this 1982 Kramer double J bass just to try it out. I'd built a large version that's fine for assembly of components, but useless for in-situ repairs. The neoprene pad won't scratch paint if you keep it clean (very important if you plan to use it as I am), and the thick steel plate is heavy enough that it doesn't tip or slide around. The hex wrench is for adjusting the friction of the hinge, but mine was already set at a usable tension, so after testing it's function I put it back where it was. As you can see in the photos I needed it to cantilever over the control cavity, which bendy clips can't do.The small footprint is also good for microscopic workshops like mine where storage space is limited.The tool is made up of a mixture of bespoke and standard components. The black part is a hinge for t-track extrusion, and the stainless hardware is standard stuff. It's a brilliant use of hardware that keeps the price down without negatively affecting function. Everything on the (aluminum - not zinc) hinge part is independently adjustable. I haven't needed to adjust anything because it was already perfect for soldering wires and small components. Soldering on heavier items might require more tension on the rotating holders.For what it's worth I accidentally dropped mine on my counter edge-on while unboxing and the powder coat didn't even get a smudge. I know that counter drops aren't an industry-standard durability test, but I still expected it to leave a mark.On a completely subjective note, the safety yellow base color is pretty rad. If you know the yellow that Redline used on their RL20/20 II freestyle bikes in the 80s, you appreciate this color. The rotating holders are anodized aluminum, also in an 80s color that is in the uncanny valley between matching and contrasting the yellow base. As one who likes I like it when manufacturers choose wild and vibrant colors for mundane tools.I also think that the hinge assembly would legitimately make a great fidget toy by itself. Hint hint. Maybe replace the magnets with two more of the rotating parts.TL/DR: Awesome little tool, well-made, works as advertised, awesome color. Yes, I got this one for free in exchange for an review, but I like it so much that I'm going to pay for two more so I can use them together for larger projects instead of using my large cumbersome one. $14 is a very good price for the quality and function.

I've gotten into electronics repair of old video game equipment, so I've often got a PCB under a digital microscope. If the board is one sided in componentry, it's fine. But when components are mounted to both sides of the board, particularly taller ones like electrolytic caps, trying to get the microscope to focus, and keeping the board still is impossible in some cases.That's where this little helping hands comes in clutch for me; It's just right for holding PCBs just off the base of the microscope. And since it's still a solid iron/steel base, you can't push it around very easily.But, that's about all where this holder excels for me. It's too small of a footprint to pull the long, flexible holders off of my main "helping hands" holder, and you can't hold large boards or objects up very high.As I said though, for assisting with holding small PCBs under a digital microscope, this thing is awesome. I haven't done it yet, but I can see myself grabbing this small holder for a quick soldering job, like connecting lead wires to an LED real quick, and it being easier and quicker to use than my larger helping hands rig.I'm just going to use this one holder for now, and see if the hardware holds up to consistent use. If it does, I might buy a second one of these, so I can balance larger boards under my microscope!

I own a few budget soldering stations, mostly alligator clips on pivot points around a single shaft that never seems to hold well. From time to time I do need that "extra hand" that provides the stability needed to complete relatively fine soldering jobs. The NOEVSBIG magnetic helping hands soldering station does pretty well at a budget price. The primary, hinged mount can be moved anywhere on the base plate with strong magnets to keep it in place. It pivots around the hinge to provide a few degrees of freedom in placement. The two flexible shaft clips have strong magnetic bases that also can be moved as needed to provide the necessary holding support. I subtracted one star because I feel like the hinged "helping hands" piece would be better if there was a single knuckle on at least one of the two (removable) arms to better assist with some of the angles required to align parts and circuit board. Good product, very useful.
