Title: Very Good for price, and almost no cons. (Fast shipping)
Review: PROSFor the price range this is a very good product for what I need it for, which is painting miniatures. It has a coil on the side that is to put the hot soldering pen for electronics, but for me it can help to hold brushes or other things.LED Light is very good and the magnifying glass along with the 2 smaller auxiliary 5X and 8X glasses are handy.It is AC/DC power enabled, so that’s useful if your power outlet is not at close range.SMALL CONS (this is just me being picky, but I like the product)Though the feel of the metal knobs when adjusting and repositioning the metal bars with clamps is not great (you can tell the material and construction is not AAA), you kinda’ have to fasten them very hard so they’re not loosen easily.Other small drawback is the short AC power cord it’s like 2.5 or 3″ long, but then again if you have an outlet or power strip close enough it shouldn’t be a problemPackaging was a bit damaged, and the quality of the box was very low. Besides, after you put the helping hand all together it doesn’t fit in the box so it doesn’t encourage you to put it back in the box when you’re not using it.For me it does the job just fine, and for the price I paid I’m very happy with the product.

Title: Ok for price. Good for beginner level hobbyists
Review: Smaller than I imagined. Makes for a bit of a cramped work station. Base fits in palm of hand. Top heavy. If magnifier is off center, it can topple. Light and clips work fine. 3 total adjusting knobs have manufacturing defects. Plastic from moulding process covers threads (see pic). Makes initial use a bit fiddly. The extra plastic will chip/wear off with use. Otherwise, knobs secure accessories firmly enough.Good for entry level. Will get the job done if you don’t require a pro level craft station.

Title: Heavy Duty
Review: Compared to my old one, I didn’t have to drill N screw to my desk! I had a bit of maintenance to my old on that was pretty flimsy. Screws at the joints came out, a spring broke, light bulb burned out.THIS ONE!! Has a Heavy Duty metal clamp (not plastic), the arms (also heavy gauge square tubing) have thumb turns! THIS ONE: Doesn’t have the reach I was expecting, but the pluses far outweigh the minus.

Title: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. pieces missing; topples easily;marginal utility all around.
Review: This item features two clamps (though, on a common axis, meaning that the dihedral angle can be changed but the clamps remain parallel), an articulating (sort of) light, an optional battery (which ends up being the only option given the 0.5 m-long power cord), and interchangeable (when they work) flenses. This item is tiny: it has a stage of~ 5 cm X 10, with a lot of pieces dangling in a few directions; the base is maybe 100 g? Not a great start. One has to be extra careful to make sure it doesn’t topple. Adding batteries to the base does make it heavier but that’s an optional feature. The clamps are also quite weak; I ended up cutting pieces apart and re-gluing them under a vice grip after having left them in these clamps overnight.The alignment of the lenses rarely agrees with the alignment of clamps (btw, review your optics, folks, linear lens behavior is only good along the lens axis; going too far in a direction normal to beam propagation produces artefacts); really, it’s a great way to see the wood fibers on the surface of my desk, but that did not need examining. I usually end up looking around the lenses to make sure the item I am “zooming in” on is painted correctly. Furthermore, adding a secondary lens gives a focus that is very difficult (if not impossible) to align with a clamp; i.e., if you have a precision part, you have to use another device to clamp it.A few of the screws were seized; a lot of torque was required to get them moving; a nice surprise when the clamps are holding a part that should not be moved. The movement along the shaft that holds the clamps is difficult and is more likely to result in the shaft itself moving.This item is cheap, cheaply made, and barely usable. The fact that it exists implies that it would work at least somewhat well. It does not.

Title:
Review: UPDATE: After its second use, nuts and bolts on the inside of it have become disconnected from whatever they were doing and are now rattling around inside the base. Buy something else!It’s a good idea in theory but the base is a bit light to hold a soldering iron. When removing the iron the whole thing shakes and moves around the worktable. Manipulating the large, heavy magnifying glass will also tip the base. If you can. clamp or bolt the base to your workbench because it’s too shaky on its own. It feels overpriced and cheap in quality. Then I discovered (at least) two other vendors who sell the identical product (see photos for comparison) for 45% ($25) less. The lower-priced identical ones are more in line with value for money, given its questionable quality.
