Soldering an assembly usually needs three hands: one for the torch, one for the pick, one for the work. This third hand supplies the last of them. Two clamps on ball joints plus a central tweezer holder let you fix several components at exactly the angle the joint requires, then leave them there. If the join itself is the problem, see our guide to soldering silver cleanly.

The black-finished cast base is weighted so nothing walks across the bench mid-solder, the arms are plated steel, and every position locks with a steel wingnut — quick to set, quick to release, no tools needed.

  • Solid, weighted base provides stability on the bench during soldering.
  • Two independent clamps on a cross-bar, each fully adjustable via ball joints.
  • Central vertical clamp acts as a third holder, ideal for securing soldering tweezers.
  • All positions are secured with steel wingnuts for fast, tool-free adjustment.
  • Durable all-metal construction with a black-finished cast base and plated steel arms.

Common questions at the bench

How do I set it up?
Stand the base on a flat, fireproof surface where it cannot be knocked. Fit your soldering tweezers or the work in the holder, set the arm to the angle the joint needs, then lock each position with its wingnut.
How do I keep the joint still while I solder?
Line the parts up so the joint closes with no gap, hold the work a little way from the joint so the tweezers do not cool it, and check every position is locked before you light the torch. Place the base so you can reach the work without passing your hand through the flame.
Does it get hot?
The arm and anything holding the work get hot near the flame. Let them cool before you adjust the arm, and move the work with tweezers, not your fingers, until it has cooled.
