If You Had Use Of One Good Hand...

And had a burning desire to continue to work on stuff, meaning small things, electronics, other than a conventional "Helping Hand" set of alligator clips. hemostats, and a hobby vise, what would you suggest?

Go to your bench or close your eyes and imagine. Stick your second hand in a pocket, perform a task, say clipping an integrated circuit to a heat sink. How would you do it?

I am looking for fresh ideas, so I can say CAN DO! Not whimper and whine and scuttle away defeated...

I have vise grips and the normal stuff. But "something" may be lurking out there that would be a "Lifestyle Improvement" to keep me happy and busy.

I can only cross my fingers and hope. Fumbling is frustrating...
  • You know Mex, the older I get the more I find my hands don't work the way they used to. I'm only 60 but I still get along with the clamp on vise, hemostats and vise grips. I don't know what I would do with out my jewelers magnifiers.
