A robust third hand base for holding jewellery components securely during intricate soldering tasks.

What it does

This helping hand provides a stable, non-slip platform essential for holding multiple parts during soldering. Its heavy, tiered circular base anchors firmly to your bench, allowing you to focus entirely on your torch and solder. The multi-ball jointed arm offers precise positioning, locking securely with a simple wing nut, ensuring your work remains exactly where you need it, even for complex assemblies.

How to use it

  • Position the heavy base on your workbench.
  • Adjust the articulated arm to hold your components.
  • Tighten the wing nut to lock the arm firmly.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK jewellers, silversmiths, and watchmakers requiring stability for soldering. It’s ideal for professionals and serious hobbyists alike, replacing the need for awkward clamps or makeshift supports during detailed bench work.

Common questions at the bench

Will heat damage these tweezers?
Stainless steel cross-lock and standard tweezers handle bench-torch heat (1500 °C+) on the working tips repeatedly without damage — the steel just discolours. Titanium-tip soldering picks specifically will not bond to silver or gold solder, which standard steel will after enough use.
Cross-lock or reverse-action — which one?
Cross-lock (self-locking on close) grips your work without finger pressure — best for holding a piece for soldering. Reverse-action (locks open, releases on squeeze) holds a piece in position when you want to walk away. Most benches end up owning both.
What is the third-hand base for?
A heavy base with one or two cross-lock arms keeps your work stable while you set up solder pallions or apply heat. Frees both your hands for the torch and pick. The heavier the base, the steadier the work — aim for 1 kg+ for medium bench-torch work.
Can I solder on a ceramic board?
Yes — ceramic boards reflect heat back into the work and do not pit the way old fire-bricks do. For sterling work, a charcoal block underneath gives a reducing atmosphere that helps prevent firescale.
