First, let me just say that DSPIAE tools are among the finest on the market. I have many of their tools and the price is right and they do their jobs extraordinarily well.
Wayne,
I have the desktop vise you picture, and use it the same way. It is indispensable for holding parts and assemblies when you need two hands to add new parts. It is also super stable and the adjustable pegs make it very versatile.
I also have this DSPIAE vise, the AT-HV holding clamp. It sits on the stand for two handed work, or can be hand held for close up jobs.
For holding entire hulls and turrets while working on them, I have a stand that sometimes comes in very useful. It’s made in Ukraine by www.lmg.in.ua, comes with two heads, and is very affordable.
While reviewing DSPIAE tools, I also have this gizmo, which looks like a gimmick but it really works! It’s their hand stabilizer. You just grip the ball with your working hand, rest your fingers on the wand, and your hand is rock steady for that final small parts placement. Gets rid of those last second micro-shakes. Works for detail painting too.
