Tip Of The Month E4

Tip Of The Month- August, 17, 2016

This is an important tip!

Get yourself THE BEST TOOLS you can afford!

I just broke my cheap little third hand, you know the little weighted stand with a ball joint that holds a pair of cross locking tweezers.

I was looking for something better and found this at RIO GRANDE!

3rd and 4th hand with soldering station. It is a little expensive but I don’t know what I would do without it now that I have been using it!

all parts are replaceable, down to the tips on the clips, and the fire board.

This is how they fit together

This is almost what it will look like with the addition of a ring for a bail and the hexagon piece of metal will be filed back and shaped
