But overall not bad.

The little adapter that was supposed to hold the flashlight doesn't fit and the whole idea of lighting your work becomes pretty much useless. Luckily I have 3D printers and CAD software so I can create something that works (and is better than their implementation anyway), but the thing is I wouldn't have to do that. as if that would be an adequate setup for my purposes. I was planning on tying it to something heavier from the start, so I don't care if it's "inherently" stable or not, but I can…

Pros
  • 6 Flex Arms
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Challenging but very useful

I was most concerned about the weight my hands can hold because I plan to use it to assemble 3D printed parts. I haven't measured how much weight the arms hold, but they are very stiff and seem to be holding quite a bit. However, since they are rigid, it's a bit difficult to align them in the exact position you want. The fact that the lever is very long also means that the whole thing can become unbalanced. The base is heavy duty aluminum and there is a hole in the bottom so it can be mounted…

Pros
  • 6 black alligator clips
Cons
  • unreliable

Poor balance, too much fiddling, weak magnifying glass

After 3 months of use: The redeeming properties are neither light nor magnifying glass (both inadequate for their task and the main contributors to product instability). The base is too small to stand alone; It needs to be screwed to a larger base or table to keep it from tipping over. The clamps are weak and the rubber tips are not grippy enough, they are actually very slippery. The product looks useful and attractive in the photos. I can't give 2 or 3 stars because it's too shaky to be of…

Pros
  • Widespread
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.
