I'm a hobbyist and have been for 55 years. I've worked with microelectronics and 'micro-microelectronics' in many of my soldering jobs. I have three different 'holding jigs' that I paid almost as much for as I did this "QuadHands" device and I can say that in each of those purchases, I was hoping it would be better than the one I had. Enter "QuadHands Helping Hands" third-hand holding jig: WOW!!! It almost instantly turned the other three jigs I owned, into fishing weights. At first sight in the ad, I'm thinking "...yeah, the 'plastic-segmented goose-neck' trick. The tension strings break and everything winds up on the floor...." NOT!! The consistently great reviews on this simple looking “contraption”, (as one reviewer called it), were too many to ignore, so I bought it. “Quick list of highlights”: *Solid steel construction and high quality materials/ *.270” (6.87 mm), thick & heavy steel base-plate/ *Easy to assemble with large no-slip rubber feet/ *High-quality gooseneck arms, (also steel)/ *High quality, unobtrusive, alligator clips that can be orientated and locked into position, (each with a pair of ‘soft-jaw’ sleeves)/ *Very well thought out, ingenious, design that makes incredibly reliable use of the ‘simplicity’ behind it! Just as all the reviews will tell you; this jig is NOT cheaply made! It's made of real steel and even the gooseneck arms are comprised of steel. The weight of this jig is a very important factor to its success. It's much heavier than it looks and much, much heavier than all of my previous jigs combined! That weight, (sorry, I don’t know exactly how heavy), isn’t all that keeps this jig in place. The four, large, rubber feet under the base add to this jigs immobility! However, that's just the beginning; I mean, EVERYTHING about this jig is high quality, right down to the large, no-slip, rubber feet that attach under the thick steel jig plate. As soon as I got it, I used it on a project that lasted 4 day, and the jig didn’t budge at any time while making an adjustment of the clips and/or goosenecks. Seriously, that jig stayed where I put it down and didn’t move until I wanted it to! The alligator clips are not only of a high quality steel, they’re designed to be as unobtrusive as possible. Their jaws are long and narrow and have the ability to be adjusted and orientated for a precise position. These clips by themselves prove that a lot of thought was put into this tool. Each clip is removable and each is kept in the orientation you select, by a locking thumbscrew at the collar. Just loosen the thumbscrew, rotate the clip to the orientation you need, and lock the thumbscrew. It’s quick & easy to do and in the time it took me to write that last sentence, you could have completed the adjustment of all four clips that way. In addition, each clip comes with a removable rubber sleeve, which slips over the upper and lower jaws. This means you can keep from scratching polished surfaces of jewelry or avoid an electrical short, (if the PCB is under power from a capacitor or two). The four, large, no-slip, rubber feet have an undersized center hole. As a machinist and mechanical engineer, I’m sure this is NOT due to unforeseen ‘cooling-shrinkage’ (when the rubber feet are removed from the injection-mold). The undersized through hole in the rubber foot acts as a locking nut and helps to keep the bolt from loosening as the arms are bent, turned, and twisted as you work. It’s ridiculously simple yet incredibly ingenious idea and certainly cost effective. In my 25+ years of machine shop and manufacturing experience, I cannot remember seeing this great retainment design on any device with a similar mechanism. I had to fight my urge to go on about how well I liked that idea, (which I’m sure many of you are happy to know)! This jig is filled with these ‘simple, cost-effective, approaches to the design, which is why we’re not paying twice as much as it would have cost otherwise! Each rubber foot and gooseneck arm are held in place with a single, long bolt that is fed up through that ‘undersize hole' in the rubber foot. In fact, I recommend you ‘screw’ the bolt up through the rubber hole as if it was a threaded nut. The bolt is then pushed through a hole in the steel plate where it is screwed into the threaded hole of the gooseneck arm. I obviously recommend this QuadHands jig to EVERYONE, hobbyist, and non-hobbyists alike. This jig can do something as simple as holding a spool of thread, or help in separating tangled line or wires, on to maneuvering a PCB filled with microelectronics that requires a lot of sensitive soldering. The four, gooseneck arms, are strong and even stronger when they’re working together. This means that the jig can hold a size and weight that no other holding-jig in its class can hope to bear. Mark Richards, (the founder of Alphidia LLC), may have even been the inventor/designer/engineer of this QuadHands jig. I don’t know if he is, but I can say that I’m truly impressed and actually surprised at how impressed I am over this jig’s design and quality. Mr. Richards, you hit ball right out of the park! Rich Review: A very sturdy and well-made product - I expected a great product based on other reviews for the QuadHands, and I was still surprised at how good of a product it is. The QuadHands has a very good wide base with a nice weight to it so you're unlikely to push it over. The arms are also easy to work with and they keep their shape very well without springing back when you move them. The clamps have a good strength to them and they have teeth. If that's a problem for you, my QuadHands came with a little card that had instructions for emailing the manufacturer, who will then send you silicone clamp covers for free. I use the QuadHands for holding PCBs and other small, very light things, but I would imagine that if you happened to try to hold something that's a bit heavier the arms would collapse. For reference, I clipped one of the arms to a Manfrotto super clamp, which weighs 0.88 pounds (according to desertcart), and the arm collapsed. TIP: It took me a minute to figure out how you're supposed to adjust the rotation of the clamps. It turns out that you're supposed to slightly unscrew the clamp a little and get it rotated to where you want, and then the end of the black arm has an adjuster that you screw out to tighten the clamp again. Overall, I am glad that I purchased the QuadHands and it gets five stars from me! ## Features - WHEN YOU NEED A HAND: QuadHands Classic is the ultimate workbench tool and vise.

But the ends where the clamps mount are a standard 8-32 male stud. So a metal bracket could be easily fabricated to hold a larger object. Additional arms with magnetic bases to attach to the QuadHands base are available if more than 4 arms are needed. **Q: Are spare parts readily available? Can I get replacement stainless steel crocodile clips, knurled knobs, etc.** A: Of course. Just email us using thr amazon system or Mark@alphidia.com and we can ship you anything that you need. **Q: what is the size of the footprint of the base?** A: The base measures 8 1/4" front to rear and 8 1/8" across the widest point on the rear "feet". The Front is slightly narrower than the rear. In other words, this unit will fit inside an 8 1/2" square. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This "QuadHands" jig hit the ball right out of the park! *by W***P on January 16, 2018* I don't think I could do enough to say how great this thing is!

You can't go wrong. *by J***G on February 5, 2021* I've had the quad hands for about 9 months now, and haven't regretted it once. It's really well made, with a heavy/solid base that stays where you put it. The arms are strong with the right amount of memory, so it can take a few seconds to perfectly position them how you want it, but once you do, held objects stays right where you want them. I bought it for soldering projects, and it's worked great for that, but it's also been the go-to tool for gluing up my son's broken toys and many other misc projects around the house. I'm really glad I choose this 4 clamp model over many of the 2-clamp helping hands on the market, as I routinely use 3 or 4 of the clamps. I actually just bought two more arms that attach to the base via magnets for even more flexibility. The jaws come with little silicon covers, which can protect delicate things from the camp jaws. I made the mistake of discarding some of the covers. I dropped a note to Alphidia asking if I could get some replacements, they they shipped me replacements the next day and then dropped me a note to make sure I got them! Unexpectedly great service. I highly recommend the product and the company. ## Frequently Bought Together - QuadHands Classic Workbench Soldering Helping Third Hand Tool | 4 Gooseneck Flexible Positionable Arms | Sturdy Base | Rotating Stainless Steel Alligator Locking Clamps | Circuit Board Holder | USA - Lesnow solder wick braid 10ft Length Desoldering Wick Braid Remover Tool Solder Sucker 1 piece No-Clean soldering Wick Wire Roll and Disassemble Electrical Components - Weller Soldering Brass Sponge Tip Cleaner with Silicone Holder | WLACCBSH-02 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/3061117-quadhands-stationary-arms](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/3061117-quadhands-stationary-arms) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
