Big, bright, beautiful magnifier
The magnifying glass arm is big, clear, and without cracks or flaws. The light is a 'cool' white, but bright enough to read text on small electronics. The alligator clip arms are a bit unwieldy, but really you only need two of them at a time for most things. I feel like this was a good purchase.

Solid!
No picture because what you see is what you get.Very sturdy design and enough weight for the base to remain stable. Use of rubber bumpers on the bottom also improve slip resistance. The clips are strong and rubber coated to prevent scratches.Only setback is the magnifying glass. It is glass and works well but the casing and handle are very cheap. You will remove the handle to install on the helping hands but if you use it handheld in order to utilize the 3rd clip, then you’ll understand how cheap it feels.Everything else is well thought out and solid. They even made sure the arms were stiff to help avoid unwanted movement during your work.

Not exactly accurate but worth it.
Love the light and the looking glass. The arms are a little springy which can be frustrating when trying to get the perfect position, but they are workable. Very stable which makes up for a lot of it and the claws have a plastic overing that works well. Overall good product knocked down a star because of the springiness of the arms and i don't want anyone to get to frustrated over that.

Very well made and reasonably priced.
I’m impressed with the design and overall quality of this helping hand with the magnifying glass/LED light. I use it to help with building a wood model of a boat that has extremely small, detailed components and requires much more dexterity and steadiness than I have.Assembly was very easy and took about 5 to 10 minutes to complete. It comes with a very nice Phillips head screw driver and a 12mm wrench for the assembly.The light and magnifying glass are extremely helpful. The rubber covering on the alligator clips is a nice feature which helps keep the item being held in place without excessive force and the clips hold even the smallest parts firmly (it even comes with 2 extra clips).My only complaint is that, for my application, the arms ‘rebound’ when you try to put them into position so it takes a little practice to get them exactly where you need them. If you were holding a solid object with all four clips it shouldn’t be an issue.I recommend this item and would buy it again.

Great assist with any project
This was easy to assemble. The light is breat and magnifying lens is a nice size. The arm with the clips stay in position where you place them. The base is heavy and stable.

Everything seems legit but....
I brought the 4 arms version, the plate, the arms, the led with magnified glass are all great, but with the bottom base screws all 4 of them are missing. I don't see what is the most optimized method here, either I find my way on getting some screws or use super glue for the base and use 'something' to hold all the arms. I have no idea what are the size and dimension for the screws that I am missing here.I do not know if it is just a mischief during transport, or just a mistake during packaging.Other than the above, the product is a perfect fit that one should consider having.

great product, would buy again. one small suggestion to company though.
i love it, i like that it came with two extra alligator clips. it also came with the exact right number of screws which is great. the only problem is that one of the screws had a defect in the first 8 threads.. they were flat on one side. i tried to file them out but that was tedious so i took it to the belt sander and ground the off. that worked great but the problem is those screws go through the rubber feet (which are high qualith and have a little metal plate internally for the screw head to rest against) through the metal base and then connect to the flexible arm that holds the alligator clip. the screw was to short to do that after sanding so i put it directly through the metal platform and flipped the rubber foot upside down so that the screw head would still fit inside and everything would be flush and super glued the foot into place. it is perfectly functional but does bother my ocd a bit.therefore my only suggestion to the company that packages these is it would be smart to include an extra screw since some seem to have defects and they are pretty specific screws. i may be able to find one at home depot but it will probably be like 2 dollars for 4 of them if im lucky. i still gave it five stars because it is a great product and great value but a lot of people would kinda be screwed in that situation or may not want to macgyver it. luckily i care about function more than form. a replacement screw would be cool but not worth it to ship so i will probably leave it as is. this is truly just a suggestion that they throw in an extra screw.

Sturdy and well made
I bought this for my boyfriend to assemble and paint his d&d minis, and he loves it. Our d&d campaign got more interesting, but he's running out of shelf space in his office now! He says 10/10

Very easy to use
Very to use third hand, flexible, and stiff in good way. Had some problems with magnifying glass, I think it’s not the best quality one, but if you alight it correctly it works great. Can recommend to buy.
