Supporters Sitting Duck Posted February 3, 2017 Supporters Share Posted February 3, 2017 Just noticed this in my local Aldi store today: https://www.aldi.co.uk/workzone-suction-vice/p/093934116525901 might be very handy for say helping when soldering dean connectors plus numerous other stuff when you need a spare hand or don't fancy spearing your own hand - yup I've done that thing is it normally goes for about twice the price on fleabay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-Table-Top-Vice-Clamp-W-Strong-Suction-Base-Hobby-Craft-Electronics-Model-/162243099691?hash=item25c6713c2b:g:7H4AAOSwh2xYBRnC so if you got a local Aldi nearby it might be worth a look, I'm thinking of grabbing one myself, knew I should grabbed one but thought nah now I know it is half price or less then wtf - I've paid more for crap bb's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeserush Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 don't fancy spearing your own hand - yup I've done that It would seem most of us have, I wish I had one when I done my connectors for the amount of this little vice you cant go wrong. Unless it falls to pieces when you pick it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Sitting Duck Posted February 3, 2017 Author Supporters Share Posted February 3, 2017 Yup got mine lunchtime - funny most grab a sandwich for lunch At first the suction wasn't great on the base then I noticed one of the three " tabs " at side wasn't sitting right unfolded that slightly bent tab - f*ck me it sticks at 90 degrees to a kitchen cupboard.... gave it a good pull, then another and thought yeah best ease up a bit it is well stuck & might yank the cupboard apart yeah - mrs duck wouldn't see the funny side to that me thinks comes with rubber jaw protectors - opens to about 68mm maybe just under 3 inches if remove jaw protectors I know exactly what will happen though, I will get nagged "that isn't staying there...." so I put it away in its box somewhere safe and won't be able to find it when I need it next time Hmmmm - should I therefore buy a second one to increase my chances of locating one of them my usual excuse btw the real answer - put it in the man cave or garage workshop $hithole full of clutter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
