Hakko Omnivise PCB Holder (C1390C)

Yes, it’s pricey. Yes, it’s awesome. Buy two, eat the pain, and never look back. If you’re in the market for something like this for holding PCBs, just get it. One is enough for smaller pcbs. If you wanted to hold and ATX motherboard, you’ll 3, maybe 4.

These things are wonderful for working on electronics. It hurts to spend $250 for 4 of them though, considering they are made in china and not very expensive to manufacture. They do work remarkably well. Even at the price, I highly recommend these. Depending on size PCBs you are working on, you will probably need between two to 4 of them. They hold the board stable enough above my convection preheater to do QFN and BGA rework just as well as a board holder that costs $1k. Height is adjustable too which is nice. This is one of those items you never realized how much you needed it until you own one (just like a video magnifier for working on small electronics). My ONLY complaint about these are the price. The product is top notch.

Good product

The biggest benefit of the Hakko Omnivise PCB Holder is the quick and ease of using it. Other similar devices work well but may take a few minutes longer to set up. The other positive attribute is that it keeps the PCB board its holding very stable. The only negative I can think of is that it can only hold a PCB board in the flat position. You obviously cant tilt the board youre working on to any other direction. The Hakko Omnivise PCB Holder is a great addition to tools for people who solder on PCB boards frequently. The ease of use likely means this is a tool youre reach out to more often, as its human nature to more likely do things that require minimal effort.

A bit tall, but works good. They need to make one half the height.

This PCB holder is some serious kit. Itll outlast me, my kids and their kids. Its weight makes it a sturdy base to securely hold PC boards for soldering. Nice small form factor stays out of the way when not in use. Pricey, but a good investment over the long term.

...and here all this time I was thinking this thing was not a necessity.

A little pricey,But made like a tank.Holds boards very sturdy and no movement.You get what you pay for!

Best board holder money can buy. I havent found a board that this wont work with. Order two for larger boards.
