A special mention goes to Hobby Creek, a great US company that makes third hands.
- Hobby Creek's basic Helping Hands Third Hand Soldering Tool is a good all round option, and they also have a magnetic version
- Their Third Hand Pana Hand Soldering Tool is an awesome addition to any Panavise 300 Series Work Center (such as the Panavise 350) and screws right into the baseplate
- They also have a neat soldering fume extractor which plugs into any helping hand base, which is a lot easier to position next to where you're working than the well known Hakko FA-400 fume extractor
- If you're just looking for something to hold your circuit boards, check out the inexpensive Aven Circuit Board Holder, Panavise Jr and Panavise Vacuum Base Jr
