Demo #7: Octopus Third Hand | Learning Electronics In The Lab With Jay Jay
This post is part of my video blog and you can find more information about this video over here.

In this video we demo our third hands from AliExpress: Octopus Soldering Helping Hands Bench Vise Table Clamp with Flexible Arms Solder Iron Holder PCB Repair for TS101 TS100 PINE64.
I mention that I found a YouTube video which has a look at it: Octopus Hand supports Soldering for only 5$ – Turtle Review but like me they couldn’t figure out what the rubber and bolts on the base are for! If you know please let me know in the comments!

Lifting SMD components from PCBs
Over on Hackaday Give Your SMD Components A Lift they linked to How To Lift SMD Pins Safely – IC Pin Lifting / Soldering by Mr SolderFix.
JBC Soldering
Today I stumbled upon: https://www.jbctools.com/. They have some nice looking kit! JBC was mentioned by Dave Jones in EEVblog #596 – World’s Cheapest Soldering Station – Yihua 936 so I went looking.
Bodge wire like a pro
I just finished recording a video for In The Lab With Jay Jay wherein I install some bodge wires using my recently learned techniques. Below is the finished result. It’s actually three bodge wires joined together. A small one (0.07mm, 0.003″) from 28A to 21B, a medium one (0.16mm, 0.006″) from 21B to 17A, and a big one (0.31mm, 0.012″) from 17A to 14B. The job was finished with some red solder mask. I will have the video up shortly!

Soldering iron temperature
I have the info below taped to the front of my bench drawer, but I thought I would put it out there in text format for anyone who it might be useful to, so I made some notes over here: soldering temperature.

I was watching EEVblog #168 – How To Set Up An Electronics Lab and Dave suggested using chisel tips instead of conical tips, which inspired me to check what I was using and also to sort the tips I presently own into three categories:
- Chisel tips
- Other tips
- Conical tips
If you’re interested in soldering temperatures I wrote a follow-up post on that topic: soldering iron temperature.

I made some notes for my drawer:
Solder alloys
A great Wikipedia page about solder alloys, including info about melting points.
There is also this Alloy Temperature Chart with similar info.
