Great third hand for soldering jewelry, or working on electronics. The base has just the right amount of weight to keep it in place and keep it counterbalanced when something heavy is in the jaw. The jaws of the clamp hold the tweezers quite securely with no walk off when tightening. The tension of the cross lock tweezers is fairly strong, yet the action is very easy to operate (even with arthritic hands). If you are going to use these to hold material for soldering, keep in mind that the whole thing becomes a heat sink. I added some carbon fiber to the jaws to prevent some of the heat dissipation, and they work just fine. You could also order other styles of cross lock tweezers to fit into the base it's fairly universal! Great buy for the price!!
