Soldered circuit boards has always been and had some clumsy circuit board holders. I ended up breaking down and spending money on a PanaVise system with a 315 head and I really liked it. I suggest getting a 305 mini vise as well because the 315 jaws are larger and will fit 75% of boards, but not so much for smaller boards with edge components. Now I can switch between them with a rotary knob. Another tip, don't screw it to the bench, screw it to a nice flat piece of hardwood with that sticky liner on the bottom, it stays in place, doesn't tip over, and you can slide it back whenever you like .
