Mini Hand Kickstarter

Kind of interesting. Could be helpful for some soldering tasks.

I posted something and removed it.

It's not mine, I'm not promoting it. Just found a link to it on a hardware deals site. Thought it might be interesting to anyone who hates the old style helping hands. I originally found this on this site, which is great for tools reviews and new product discussions.

I'll remove if necessary.

Does the bottom of this page look familiar?

Interesting.  The same company (Hobby Creek) is already selling these on Amazon. Why the Kickstarter?

I recognize these fittings from CNC lubricant nozzles.

It's sad that the crowdfunded stuff has become a source of FREEEEE MONEYYY!! to the charlatans. Another good, albeit idealistic concept shatters on the adamantine reality of human nature.

That was very nice of them to give "assembly' instructions!

I think I'll make one!
