Customers are mixed about the quality of the tool. Some mention it's well constructed, heavy enough to be steady, and feels good. However, others say that the base is cast potmetal, not as sturdy as it could be, and the tool is tippy and unbalanced.

"...This tool needs to be clamped or in some way mounted as it tips over very easy." Read more

"...the helper is still somewhat unbalanced and tippy. Therefore, an improved design might include a heavier or wider base...." Read more

162 customers mention54 positive108 negative

Customers are mixed about the size of the tools. Some mention that it is great for its small size and compact form factor. They say it works nicely as a compact solution to help facilitate small jobs. However, other customers feel that the base is a little small and unsteady, and the magnifying glass arm is too small. They also mention that the adjustment thumbscrews are very small for adult fingers.

146 customers mention57 positive89 negative

Customers are mixed about the weight of the tool. Some mention they love the weighted base, while others say the base is too light weight and too narrow for a stable stand. The plastic holders are not heavy enough and the product does not have enough weight on the bottom to hold even a light weight computer. The clips on the joint are thin and flimsy.

"...really recommend I haven't had any issues besides maybe the base not being heavy enough to hold a few components..." Read more

"...Not super heavy but it keeps things steady for what I need it for and the price point is perfect...." Read more

"The base is lighter than the magnifying glass and clips so you have to position them in such a way that it won't fall over, which is very annoying..." Read more

"...does the job fine though the materials, other than the base, seem a little lightweight. I hope it lasts a few years." Read more

119 customers mention56 positive63 negative

"...no lighting feature, small magnifying glass, no written instuctions or product specifications...." Read more

"This is a easy to use solution for holding wires to repair and solder wire connections. Love the magnifying glass" Read more

"...so that your pressing down directly over the base which is not easy or convenient to do...." Read more
