Simple, easy to use and does the job.
Been needing an extra stand to hold parts when painting my models and this worked great. The magnifying glass works well for detailing small parts and the Croc clips for holding drying parts etc.
All of the arms are on ball joints which allows you to swivel the arms and magnifying glass to any position you'd like. Only downside is as all the joints are ball joints you have to sometimes fiddle with it to get the right angle.
I would defo recommend if your after a cheap handy arms stand!

Disappointing
This is a good product but too small and fiddly. I am about to return mine as the heavy lens fell out of the soft metal frame as I was painting the glass windscreen of a model car, thus ruining it. The lens must have become loose with all of the twisting and turning to obtain the right position and focus. All other materials are solid and robust, but the lens frame is weak and flimsy...the most crucial part is therefore of the poorest quality. A shame as in principle this is good in every other area. I will now have to hope Tamiya can supply a replacement sprue for the glass to my VW Beetle kit!?

Fantastic piece of kit
This is an ideal product for all modellers. Great magnification. Don't know how hobby craft can sell so cheap it is well made and a lot of work has gone into it. I can highly recommend this product. Great hobby craft product once again

Very useful
A very useful product, great for work needing two hands. However, the base needs for weight to make it more stable and the clips could mark your work, masking tape solved this problem

Excellent product
I had recently bought some Airfix models and struggled to see the parts clearly. I looked online for a magnifier and then remembered seeing one in your store. I found it cheaper to buy from Hobby Craft and was very happy with the product.

The helping hands is versatile and adaptable enough for most hobby needs
The helping hands with magnifying glass is very versatile, for dealing with close up craft work requiring steady holding of pieces and both hands to work on it. Very good in my opinion, only one thing I would change is to make the base slightly heavier to give even greater stability.

It does the job!
It does the job!
It helped my partner fix their console controller, as it was very fiddly and small, so he was very happy. I've also used it for
Looking at small a pattern that was in small print!
