The alligator clips are more useful. Soldering can be a real pain (literally sometimes) when you're trying to solder something that is both small and awkwardly shaped.
The only real concern I had when ordering this was that it would be so poorly made that it would just break. At this price, you can't help but wonder. While there are some obvious cost cutting measures that jump right out at you when you really look (the wingnuts are obviously very cheap, for example), nothing has broken yet. The magnifier is OK quality but it's actual construction is about what you'd get if you bought it at the dollar store.
All in all, I'd guess the value of the parts used to construct this is very low. But, it doesn't cost much and if you need something like this only very occasionally, it's worth what it costs. I'm not entirely sure I have any confidence in their quality control, however. It's obviously made in China. Probably from the cheapest materials they can get their hands on. But mine works fine. I kind of wish there was a way to control the tension on the clips so they don't bite into more delicate things like wire insulation but you obviously can't have everything at this price.
One other thing I worried about when I ordered it was some people said it tends to tip over. The base is quite small but it seems stable enough as long as you don't either try to hold something that's unreasonably heavy with it or bump it too hard. It stands up fine just holding wires or small components/boards. Obviously, it's not going to hold a motherboard or anything like that.
This will literally get you by in a pinch.
PROS
The arms are adjustable to some degree and the glass can slide on the arms too. This is useful for being able to position it properly.
It looks like a cool toy that you could leave sitting on your desk.
CONS
The base wasn't heavy enough to really support the weight of the glass alone. This was made much worse with a PCB board in the arms. It felt like a bit of a balancing act, but once I got it right it stayed put.
The sharp edges of the clips could potentially damage a board. I don't have a good solution for that, but it is something I started to get a little concerned about with my tiny board from my drone.
My set arrived without any instructions of any sort. I suppose this wasn't that much of an issue as it was already assembled. Even if it wasn't assembled, I suspect I'd be able to put it together without instructions.
OVERALL
If I needed to buy another set of helping hands to work with my own small electronics I would probably buy this again. The price point, size, and ease of use were good enough for my needs. However, I don't think this would be a good solution for someone who works on this sort of thing on a much more regular basis. If I worked on small electronics often I'd prefer a sturdier set with perhaps a bigger magnifying glass.
