An innovative take on one of the most frustrating tools on the bench, the Whaley Signature Series Third Hand allows precision adjustments in multiple ways for your tweezer to be in just the perfect position. In the Z (up/down) axis, a metal post coated with a tarnish-resistant finish allows the bracket to slide up and down. Locked in with a brass nut, your height is now secured. Furthermore, in the X/Y axis (left, right, up, down), the magnetic post can slide across the heavy-duty metal base for ease of use in any position. In addition, the 360-degree rotation of the oversized magnetic ball allows for even more precise placement of a tweezer. The metal jaw accepts tweezers up to 3mm in overall thickness (a stainless steel tweezer is included).
