Constructing a ‘High Boy’ soldering hold down clamp.
The first version of the soldering ‘Hold Down Clamp’ is one of the most useful tools on my workbench.
Taking this idea a bit further, the new adjustable version of the tool is just as useful.
For the lack of a better name, I will refer to the new tool as a ‘High Boy’ soldering clamp.
This clamp allows you to secure components that are higher than I.C.s or SMDs; the height adjustment tunes the tool to the level of what is being soldered.
Since the tool uses a ‘Shepherd’s Hook’ end, you can easily remove it and swap another tool in its place.
