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

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.
