1 X Goot Heat clip H-2SL

After a long search on the internet to find an effective small clip-on heatsink for use when soldering small components I found two basic types. The first type was the usual reverse tweezer type - some of which are a bit too large and unwieldy and all of which have smooth jaws so don't grip and stay in place as well as I would like.The second type are like the Goot Heat Clip  Goot Heat clip H-2SL  - small spring-actuated clamps - which are made of aluminium for better heat transfer.The springs on these clips are quite strong to compress but ideal for clamping on to a component. The jaws have tiny serrations that will grip two legs of a transistor simultaneously - but not three. The jaws easily grip with enough force to hold the clip in place without worrying about it slipping off. There are no finger plates (to help when squeezing the legs of the clip and to avoid any hot aluminium) as I have seen on similar but much more expensive clips of this type like the Hakko 610. In practice, this does not seem to matter and if I find there is a need for such plates then I'm sure the application of a couple of bits of epoxy putty would solve the problem. For the price, this pair of simple clips with one straight jaw and one bent jaw seems very good value and well made. The seller (TOYJNKY in Japan) sent them by airmail to the UK in only 8 days. Excellent product and service.

Great kit. They are much smaller than I expected so I hope it will move the heat away. I am sure it will...

Excellent value and shipping time from Japan reasonable

Good service and effective product protected components well.

Great little gizmo. Does the job fine. Delivery a couple of days late, but its a long way from Japan!
