Third Hand....new helping hands tool
« on: August 02, 2017, 08:42:28 pm »
I just purchased this tool.  I think it will revolutionize my board building  :laugh:


It holds tight, inspecting the underside of the board is simple by just picking it up and rotating it, it holds its form.

Looks interesting.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Go to Amazon and search helping hand tool and you'll get a bunch of them.  I think the one TubeGeek bought is a Hobby Creek brand
Guides on your quest for tone.
 Oh yeah, and I'm usually just kidding so don't take me too seriously.

I've had it on my amp tools wish list for some time now, you can go ahead and buy two, one for you and one for me ;)
