Product Information

Full details

The Electrovision Y057 Helping Hands tool is designed for model-makers, DIY enthusiasts, and professionals who require a stable, magnified view of small projects. Its key benefit is providing a 'third hand' with adjustable arms and a clear magnifying lens, allowing for precise work. A potential caveat is the 0.36kg weight, which, while providing stability, might limit portability for some users. This tool features a 60 mm magnifier (2.5x magnification), two articulated arms with crocodile clips, and a weighted base.

Troubleshooting

Tool is unstable

Ensure the tool is placed on a completely flat and level surface. The weighted base should provide adequate stability under normal conditions.

Crocodile clips won't hold item securely

Check if the item is too thick or too smooth for the clips. Ensure the clips are fully opened before attempting to grip and that they are closed firmly onto the item.

Magnifier lens is blurry or dirty

Gently clean the lens with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid touching the lens with fingers.
