Your soldering station works better when your solder stays put. This stand holds narrow reels in place so you can work with both hands and keep your joints clean and strong.
The design is straightforward. A rounded support bar grips your reel, and the reel's own weight keeps everything stable on your bench. You get a tool that's ready to use the moment it arrives, with no fiddling or setup. The slight curve on the bar means it holds surprisingly well, even with lighter reels.
Built from 3D-printed materials made in the USA, this stand gives you the grip you need without extra bulk on your workbench.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
