Soldering jig.

[wallot]

exactly it is my opinion and those $20 can be spent on standard vise that will do much better job and not just for soldering so you dont end up with a million of single purpose stuff

Well I still think it's cool, I'll probably get one. Will make jobs much faster for me than a bench vise will, too.

You will probably be better off with the vise. It will go well with your hammer. I’ll stick to "right tool for the job" theory.

Look at it this way, a vise is just a large heat sink.

Unless the vise is made of plastic instead of metal .

Yea, a vise made of plastic makes sense.

I agree a vice is quite valuable, but I much prefer this jig...

I I looked at that one and it seemed well made and versatile. But the jig from Vigilante seemed better suited to my needs.

I've bought it but it's useless.

The jigs subtracts heat from the connectors you are welding (not the case of the deans) and this is a bad thing. Worst 20$ spent in rc equipment.

I have some soft plastic jaws for my vise. Also, I have a small clamp on vise (what I was referring to) that has a plasticy type of coating on it and it works great for bullets that will transfer heat.

I like the look of the 2nd one myself, but the smaller suction one looks handy and have plastic jaws.

I use something just like this, nice to have as a supplement to my big mounted vise.
