Many, yes what many have, almost all hams have useful device - the so-called "third" hand. I had it, like this:
A convenient thing, and a stand for a soldering iron, and a magnifier with backlight if you solder a trifle, there is. However, such a misfortune happens to this wonderful thing, and nothing can be done about it:
I lived with this misfortune for quite some time, and once I saw this in a radio parts store and immediately bought it:
A very convenient thing, crocodiles on a flexible suspension, you can move along the grooves, a magnifying glass and additional stands on a magnet, place wherever you want, set what you want. And I had such an idea - to cross both shnyaga and immediately fulfilled it, since it turned out to be not difficult. I cut the thread on the M8 from the old third hand, and in one of the grooves closer to the middle I drilled a hole for the M8 and tightened it with nuts and washers, like this:
It turned out here is a device that can be called not even a "third hand", but "two additional hands." There are many options for placing the structure that you solder, as well as the possibility of using various magnifying glasses.
Well, the remnants of the old "third hand" continue to play the role of a soldering iron stand. What is good about this revision is that everything can be returned back.
Those who live where there is no Radio Parts store can order a "third hand" on Ali Express, a little more than 1000 rubles costs, I later found it there.
Good luck, colleagues.
