Hakko C1390C Omnivise PCB Holder

Well made product. I really like it.

It's basically a counterweight with rubberized "clamp" to hold PCBs. Yes, that simple and yes that helpful. Made in Japan, with nice build quality. You can complain it's overpriced but you won't complain that it's not useful or made poorly.

Puede parecer un poco cara pero la facilidad que vas a tener de usarla y de sujetar las PCBs es muy buena, para sacarle el mayor provecho si ocuparias tener 2 pero aun con una te facilita mucho el manejo de las placas, yo la uso para controles de ps4,ps5 xbox series, etc, me sirve muy bien

This is a hefty little tool that was very well designed. The product picture made me think I was going to get a pretty big unwieldy tool to hold PCBs to solder. But, I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't at all as big as I thought it was going to be. Although this is small, it packs just the right amount of weight to it to hold most anything needed. Upon receiving and just looking at it, I was trying to figure out how it actually worked. Once I unscrewed the top and saw how it held the boards, the only word that came to mind was "genius". I have used all sorts of holding tools, from those that are spring loaded and clamp the ends of a PCB, to simple "helping hands" type tools. This picks up all of the short comings and packs it into a simple, but powerful tool. Now it is much easier to hold those odd shaped boards that were just impractical in most other holders. You can even pair this up with another Omnivise if you need to get that extra support for the much larger boards. So far, this holds up well to a reflow heat gun and a decently high wattage soldering iron. It has settings to elevate the board, but I rarely have a need for that. It also holds the board low enough that I can still get it under a microscope for inspection. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one of these shall the need arise. Would highly recommend!

“You get what you pay for.” Often times, this isn’t the case but here, it is. There is nothing else comparable on the market and, if you work with small to medium sized boards, you need to just buy this. It is so sturdy both in its hold and build design. This string will survive the apocalypse. It also does exactly what it says on the tin, no more and no less. If I start working with larger boards like pc motherboards, I fully plan on buying a second one. This is the board holding solution I’ve always wanted. Super compact and solid. Take the plunge and you’ll agree.
