DEVMO Adjustable Soldering Assembly Rotation Review

I'm a fan of electronics. I've been playing around with Arduino Nano and ESP32 boards. I decided to go ahead and make my designs more permanent by soldering them onto punched cards. The use of conventional helping hands did not help. I am generally satisfied with this board holder. It's pretty sturdy and the metal is where it should be. I'm afraid the screw pins will not hold up as they are not made of high quality plastic. Very durable rubber feet. Good buy, I recommend

This thing really makes assembling and repairing small circuit boards a lot easier. But the handles, which tighten the set screws that hold the device at the desired angle and maintain the pressure to hold it in your jaws, are undersized in diameter and difficult for arthritic fingers to turn. Another improvement will be the inclusion of several suction cups as legs, which can be replaced with the ones currently present. If you need to unsolder the wire of a soldered component from the board…

I had high hopes for this article, for soldering circuit boards. However, I found it slipped when upright and didn't hold the board well. You might think it doesn't matter much because you never solder it vertically, but...the reason I bought this is because the standard alligator clip holders don't allow you to easily slide between the solder side and the component side to move. , this is something you ALWAYS want to do because you need to identify and find the component when desoldering…
