I need to have a small hobby vise to hold various parts for soldering, gluing, etc.
What do you guys use or recommend?

Here is an ebay link for one for $6: ebay.com link: Helping 3rd Hand Soldering Iron Hobby Tool w Vise Clamp Magnifying Glass New
Quoted from lyonsden:This is what I like for small tasks. You can pick one up for $5-$10 from many places.

I've found most "helping hands" tools to be useless. They flop around too much after using them a couple times since you can never get the screws tight enough to hold the weight.
I pretty much just use clamping forceps and polyimide tape at this point.
Sana'a
Quoted from jnauman:I love this one!

That looks fantastic! What is the product called?
Quoted from vid1900:About the only thing worth 2 squirts is an actual circuit board holder.

A panavice circuit board holder.
I snagged a used one off of ebay a while back--it's very handy.
Quoted from Alan_L:I need a vise.
You mean like drinking in excess and dating slutty women?
Never mind. I thought you said you needed a vice.

i have two of these from HF. I see what you mean by getting loose but I have had them for a while and use them often and they are still extremely useful
