Hot Holder Pro Soldering Aid

$59.00

Description

The Hot Holder Pro is a soldering aid that takes the frustration out of soldering jacks, switches, and wires. Invented and manufactured by Austin Microphones in the US, The Hot Holder Pro is a solid block of flexible silicone with grippy precision holes for audio connectors, parts, wires, and small circuit boards.

Perfect for holding soldering work:

Sticks to bench surface
Grips parts tightly without scratching
Nothing sticks to it—not glue, not paint, not solder
Zero residue
Won't melt
Doesn't wick heat

Great tool, however a bit smaller than I was expecting, which isn’t a huge issue for most production need of solder but if you do have something heavy or pulling away can make for a bit of pain. That said adjusting your work table, positioning of the item like cable can resolve this. Otherwise a great useful product, just wish it was a bit bigger.

Indispensable Tool

This is my second hot holder, now the pro version. The first got stolen from a show after some emergency cable repairs. Don’t leave home without one.

This is an excellent tool for the mobile or shop solderer. I just rewired an outboard studio rack with limited space to work in and this thing saved my life. I would've had to find a very creative solution or grow more hands to compete the project without this block. It's heavier than I expected, which is great because it won't tip over if you put it on its side to tin wires or solder XLR connectors. I soldered on the floor with just this block and an iron and it was a breeze! Yes this is expensive, but it's worth every penny.
