Omnifixo ftw

Today I purchased an Omnifixo Helping Hands tool to replace my 5 arm bandit lol. I have a typical helping hand device with the bendable arm and the alligator clips that seem to have a mind of their own at times. 

Enter the Omnifixo a non-arm device with a metal base and clamps that are more suited for smaller electronic work. I plan to use this on pcbs, smd work and general soldering of wires etc. I think this tool may give me a better shot at completing some of my projects.

I've already 3D printed some extensions for the clamps from Printables.com and cant wait to use them. Below are some YouTube creators who use the Omnifixo.









































My trip to Japan is live

 I made it back alive and no international incidents.
