Perfect for those of us who need a stable hand while we’re in the zone with our glue and paintbrush.Īnd let’s not forget about the KOTTO tools. This thing is like a mini superhero with its magnetized base – it sticks where you put it, no questions asked. Then there’s the ABEST Smart Model Hobby Parts Holder. Its flexible arms are like tiny robotic assistants, holding everything just where you need it. It doesn’t matter if you’re working on a Warhammer figurine or a delicate scale model train this tool has got your back. It’s like a Swiss Army knife for model enthusiasts. That’s where these nifty helping hand tools come into play.įrom the get-go, the Citadel Assembly Handle is a standout. It’s a place where having an extra set of hands isn’t just nice it’s pretty much a game changer. Wrapping this up, diving into model and miniature assembly is like stepping into a world where precision is king and every tiny part matters. It’s small enough to fit in a hobby spray booth, too. Sure, this is a little more expensive, but it’s worth the cost when you realize how much frustration you can avoid.įinally, this works well as a holder for spraying applications, e.g., airbrushing or priming. If your subassembly is too heavy, just reach over and clip on another arm to hold everything together.

The neat part I noticed about this helping hand tool is the ability to combine the holding clip strength of two or more clips. The flexible arms are great for scratch building pieces for your model railroad layout, and holding parts that need to be glued. Moreover, this is one of the best helping hand holders for working with scale model trains and railroad kits. Gluing legs to a hip piece (i.e., 40K dreadnought, or Warmachine Warjack model) can be challenging because you need the position just right. The flexible arms with clips has come in useful for me when I’m working with several parts at the same time. Is this the best helping hand for assembling miniatures and working with scale model parts? It all depends on your need. This is the same product as #9 ( KOTTO Helping Hands Soldering Tool), but with 5 arms instead of 4 arms. KOTTO Soldering Tool PCB Holder Five Arms Helping Hands
