Sometimes it’s simply inconvenient to use tweezers, because small parts twist and strive to pop out, and the width of the tweezers legs may sometimes not be enough, and then a similar “spider” grip can come to the rescue. It is very convenient to carry out the installation of SMD components with such a device (it is recommended to dismantle it with extreme caution, since it is likely to damage the tracks on the board). In addition, such a "spider" can be used as the simplest version of the "third hand" to facilitate the process of soldering wiring. Another interesting application of this capture is the ability to extract small parts from boxes or bubbles without spilling out the contents.
Length fixtures makes 118 mm. The maximum distance between the antennae is 150 mm. The tool is quite light (about 20 gr.), In the hand lies like an ordinary fountain pen. The spring is quite tight, the details are fixed in the antennae quite reliably. The tool body is made entirely of copper, the button is equipped with a small recess under the finger. We also note that anti-slip notches are applied to the device body. The tool is completely collapsible. The pressure lever is screwed into the body and thus the reach and the width of the antenna line can be adjusted.
Such a device is simply indispensable in some situations, and the price for it is quite low. Well-executed and functional addition to the existing amateur toolkit homemade. A similar, cheaper (~ 80 rubles) instrument with plastic elements can be purchased here.
