What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The soldering iron holder is great. Goes through rechargeable aas quickly, but has an ac adapter. Will help with my spouse'sjewelry soldering.
Led lighting is very bright. Base is weighted well. Great for soldering cleaning / maintenance pads.
However, this one is solid and very well made. Feels solid and did not have to worry about it tipping over. It's much bigger than i thought it would be.
Cons
When i lift the gooseneck, it immediately drops down again like a damp noodle. The different compartments are not deep enough to hold accessories properl.

I drilled out two new holes and the roll willnow not pull off in use.
Price
It is truly amazing for the money.

Shipping
Arrived promptly, seems to be working fine.
Product arrived on time and in perfect condition.
Competitiveness
Consider this unit to be superior to others listed.
The price is higher compare to other third hands.

Needless to say i made a judgement error because although this can hold those boards it cannot hold them steady

There are supposed to be screw locks on either side that should prevent the board from tipping but from my experience this holder doesnt keep it straight and any pressure like soldering will cause it to tilt

It would have been prudent for the designers to include a lock notch or several notches for 04590 degree cases where it wont tilt but this is not the case so any board to put in the grip will easily tilt

Obviously this is more pronounced the larger the board is so i cannot recommend using this for anything but very small boards even though the dimensions make it so medium sized boards should fit
