Third Hand

Saw this on Instagram but no price. Google the site and saw 105$ for the set, second base not included.....yikes

​

Apparently used to hold the part steady, bring the area you want to glue it to closer and then when it all lines up, add glue, push the stand up tight and it will hold steady until glue sets. Being cheap, I looked around my bench. You can get this for about 30$ and I don't remember what I paid for the tweezers. Personally, I think mine is more versatile.

I have the latter and seldom use it

I use mine mostly for holding fuselage halves for taking photos and holding clear parts for masking

I have one of the Helping Hand type, very similar to te one you have, but intended for electronic projects.

Note that I do NOT recommend the version with the build in magnifying glass, which makes the whole thing unbalanced and tending to fall over.

I use soldering tweezers with ceramic tips and a soldering robot, alligator clips on skewers,
