Desktop LED Lighted Magnifying Glass Soldering Station, mlogiroa Adjustable Helping Hands Magnifier 2.5X 7.5X 10X Magnifying Glass Magnifier Station with LED Light and Alligator Clips for Soldering

I use this for soldering small projects

Only complain is it would work much better if heavier.

Base is solid and doesn't tip over. Arms for the clips are very adjustable. Magnifier is comfortable to use rather sitting or standing. More usable to me than the more expensive one with the extra add ons. I just use the expensive one now as a desk lamp to light this one

Base should be wider it's very easy to tip over and the magnified glass arm is short and tuff to bend which makes the first point worse if it was longer and more bendy it wouldn't tip over constantly

I bought this to hold wires for a stereo install. It was easy to to use. I didn't need the magnifying glass portion so I removed it. The hands are adjustable and it did not tip over even when working with a wire harness that had well over 10 wires.I used this with both solder and with these fance shrink tubes that already had solder in them. I was able to easily use my heat gun and shrink tube attachment (looks like a rounded spatula that attaches to the heat gun) and had plenty of room to work with.It works good, does what it is supposed to do, and best of all I was able to fit it in the hardware box with all of my other wire connectors and siupplies. Oh, and it isn't that expensive, so there is that as well.

It does what it's ment to

So the 3x magnifier wasn't enough for what I was working on but I was able to complete the job. The 12x magnifying could've been a little bit larger and the location made it hard. You do have to becareful because it will fall over. Now onto the good parts. If you are working with small PCB you are good especially if they fit in the clip. I did like the ability to move the magnifier. I did not have issues with the clips and kept everything in place. I practiced with a tiny PCB and components and it is enough for a small hobbyist that does work from time to time.

This is actually more than I needed for the task I was undertaking. It was self-assembly, which looked daunting, but once I got started it was plain sailing. Works well and helps with those pesky close-up soldering tasks.
