Unsurpassed quality for power tools and hand tools

I was a little worried about the type of plastic, used for the jaws good quality/design of ball and socket. However, when I received it, I was amazed. Sleeve bearings are everywhere, and plastic is NOT cheap, it's some sort of rigid composite material that's perfectly fine for this application (ie it's a "holder" for small things, not a "crusher"). There are small friction fingers in the ball seat and the ball is made of powder-coated steel. The factory action was fairly smooth, although I didโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy-to-use head movement button in 3 levels: 210 degree tilt, 360 degree rotation and 360 degree rotation
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

It works but I wouldn't call it a quality product

I use this with a low profile base and a QuadHands WorkBench mount for soldering small projects. I think overall it's a great combo, but this head is by far the cheapest part of the whole thing. It works well, but it definitely doesn't feel like a strong quality product. Also, I bought directly from Revain and not a third party, and I *didn't* receive the ESC so I had to order it later. Other reviewers state that their device comes with a speed controller, which I feel is a necessary additionโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Fine/Coarse adjustment knob controls jaw pressure for fine work
Cons
  • Base required

Miniature threads to fit vise

One of the two putti pictured broke off and was lost and had to be replaced. The wing would be visible from all sides, and the three remaining wings could not be used as a direct model. The wing was to be only 7/8 inch long, 1/2 inch wide, slightly curved, and no thicker than 1/8 inch, with approximately 25 highly detailed feathers carved into each side. Hard carving wax has proven to be a suitable material. a medium for a model that could later be cast, and miniature tools ground into shapeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Grooved jaws are great for holding small items and are made from reinforced thermocomposite plastic
Cons
  • Expensive
