Tooltos Third Hand Soldering Tool | 3-Tweezer Helping Hands Weighted
- 62 in stock
Description
The professional third hand tool built for jewelers — two weighted bases, three interchangeable self-closing tweezers, and a 360-degree adjustable joint give you stable, hands-free holding for soldering, ring repair, and precision assembly without the wobble of lightweight alternatives.
- 3 Interchangeable Tweezers — Straight, angled and right-angle tips cover different workpiece shapes and tight-space access requirements
- 360-Degree Adjustable Joint — Butterfly screw allows positioning at any angle for precise hands-free holding during soldering and assembly
- Self-Closing Tweezer Design — Tips stay clamped without hand pressure; keeps parts secure throughout the soldering process
- 2 Heavy Weighted Stainless Steel Bases — Weighted base prevents tipping and keeps the tool stable on the bench without clamping
- Serrated Stainless Steel Tips — Strong grip on small parts without damaging delicate jewelry surfaces
- Wide Application — Jewelry soldering, ring repair, wire wrapping, jump ring making, electronics repair and precision craft work
The Tooltos Third Hand Soldering Tool Kit gives jewelers, bench technicians and hobbyists a stable, hands-free holding solution for soldering, wire wrapping and precision assembly work. Two heavy weighted stainless steel bases keep the tool firmly in place on the bench, and the 360-degree adjustable joint positions any of the three interchangeable tweezers at the exact angle needed. The self-closing tweezer design holds parts securely without requiring hand pressure, freeing both hands for soldering or assembly tasks.

Pro Tips
- Position the tweezer tip as close to the solder joint as possible for maximum stability — longer reach increases wobble
- Use the right-angle tweezer for holding ring shanks flat on the soldering block while keeping the join area accessible
- Tighten the butterfly screw firmly before soldering — a loose joint allows the workpiece to shift under torch heat
- Use the angled tweezer for holding jump rings and small findings that need to be presented at an angle to the solder pick
- Place the weighted base on a soldering board or firebrick surface — the weight keeps it stable without bench damage
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the tweezers withstand direct torch flame?
A: The stainless steel tweezers are heat-resistant but are not designed for prolonged direct flame contact. Position the workpiece so the torch flame contacts the metal, not the tweezer tips.
Q: How many bases are included?
A: Two heavy weighted stainless steel bases are included, allowing you to set up two holding positions simultaneously for complex assemblies.
Q: Are the tweezers interchangeable between the two bases?
A: Yes. All three tweezers fit both bases and can be swapped freely to suit the task.
Q: Is this suitable for electronics soldering?
A: Yes. The adjustable joint and self-closing tweezers make it practical for holding circuit boards, wires and small components during electronics soldering work.
Q: Will the serrated tips scratch polished jewelry?
A: The serrated tips provide grip without damaging most jewelry surfaces under normal clamping pressure. For highly polished or soft metal surfaces, wrap the tips with a small piece of masking tape as protection.
Q: Does the base clamp to the bench?
A: No. The base uses its own weight to stay in place on the bench surface. It does not clamp or bolt to the bench.
