A robust third hand tool for UK jewellers, providing a stable, hands-free platform for intricate soldering and assembly tasks.

What it does

This bench tool offers a secure, articulated grip for holding soldering tweezers, freeing your hands for precise torch control and solder application. Its heavy, square cast iron base provides essential stability on the workbench, preventing movement during delicate operations. The twin steel ball joints allow for versatile positioning, ensuring your work is always at the optimal angle, while large wingnuts provide tool-free, firm locking of each joint.

How to use it

  • Position the square base firmly on your workbench.
  • Clamp your soldering tweezers securely into the adjustable holder.
  • Adjust ball joints and lock wingnuts for optimal work angle.

Who it's for

Essential for UK silversmiths, jewellers, and watchmakers undertaking soldering repairs and fabrication. This tool is also suited for electronics hobbyists and model makers requiring a steady, hands-free setup. It replaces the need for awkward manual clamping or juggling components, streamlining intricate assembly.

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.
