Description: Most hobbyists who regularly solder (including myself) have a collection of jigs they've amassed over the years all promising to make the task of soldering easier. The reason we have so many is most are too specialized or have shortcomings that weren't obvious at the time of purchase. Aluminum jigs wick the heat away from the connector making it difficult to get a proper joint. Carbon fiber jigs are electrically conductive introducing the possibility of shorting out your battery.Helping hands are great at holding wire but have trouble holding onto a metal connector. The myriad sizes of bullet connectors in R/C the fixed size holes in most jigs just aren't flexible enough to hold all your bullets securely.Home made jigs are great, but then all your friends want you to make them one too!It was with that in mind that I went searching for a jig that solved most, if not all, of my problems. Built from advanced thermoplastic it holds the heat in the connector without the risk of melting.Spring loaded retaining bar will hold bullet connectors from 0.8MM all the way up to the massive 10MM. In the product pictures I have 2MM - 8MM represented - you can see how each one has a nice snug fit.The adjustable holder on the side will hold your bar-type (Deans, Traxxas) connectors as well as bullet connectors built into the housing (XT60, XT90, EC3 & EC5 with pre-installed bullets). While the stats look good on paper, before putting my reputation on the line, I decided to be my own guinea pig. After 3 weeks and dozens of successfully created connectors, I can feel good about putting the BackBay R/C name on these. This item is identical to the BackBayRC Soldering Station but without the base & adjustable arm. Beginners & experts alike, buy one - it'll be the last soldering jig you ever need.
