Always fills the bill when you need an extra hand.
I bought the whole configuration since you just never know whats next. The Panavise system, with its modular design, offers a highly adaptable solution for securely holding small objects. My experience with a combination of the 305 Low Profile Base, 311 Clamp, 304 Low Profile Head, 303 Standard Head, 312 Tray Base, and 376 Self-Centering Extra Wide Clamp has been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting its versatility and quality. Core Components: 305 Low Profile Base: This base provides surprising stability in a compact form. Its low profile is ideal for close-up work and tight spaces. It's sturdy enough for most light-duty tasks. 311 Clamp: The 311 clamp is a reliable workhorse, gripping a wide range of objects securely. Its well-designed jaws offer excellent surface contact, perfect for circuit boards, wires, and small parts. 304 Low Profile Head: This head excels in situations requiring a lower profile and increased maneuverability. Compatible with both the 305 base and 311 clamp, it enables diverse configurations. 303 Standard Head: The standard head provides a more robust and versatile mounting option. It offers a wider range of motion and compatibility with a broader selection of Panavise accessories. Specialized Components: 312 Tray Base: This base incorporates a convenient tray for holding small tools, parts, or solder. It enhances workspace organization and prevents items from rolling away, while also adding stability to the setup. 376 Self-Centering Extra Wide Clamp: This clamp is invaluable for larger or irregularly shaped objects. The self-centering mechanism ensures a secure grip, and the extra-wide jaws accommodate items beyond the standard clamp's capacity. It's particularly useful for larger components or small projects. Performance and Versatility: The Panavise system's strength lies in its modularity. Mixing and matching components creates the perfect holding solution for almost any task. I've used my setup for soldering, filing, gluing, painting, and light machining. The diverse heads and clamps offer incredible flexibility. Need to hold a delicate circuit board? The 311 clamp with the low-profile head is ideal. Working on a larger project? The 376 clamp paired with the standard head is the answer. The tray base keeps everything organized. Pros: Unmatched Versatility: The modular system allows for endless configurations. High Quality: Components are well-made and durable. Strong Grip: Clamps hold objects securely. Wide Range of Accessories: Expands the system's capabilities. Compact and Portable: Easy to move and store. Cons: Maybe price if you buy them all indivually but I found I prefer to change configurations at times and I only takes a minute or two. The Panavise system is a worthwhile investment for anyone working with small parts or needing a reliable and adaptable holding solution. While the initial cost might seem high, the versatility and component quality make it a valuable, long-lasting tool. Hobbyists, electronics technicians, jewelers, and DIY enthusiasts will find the Panavise system makes work easier and more efficient. Highly recommended. ... show more

Over the years I always looked at these but never spent the money to buy one - I should have!
Been soldering circuit boards since the dawn of time and had some make shift clumsy circuit board holder. I finally broke down and spent the money to kit up a PanaVise system with 315 head and absolutely love it. I suggest also buying the 305 mini vise because the jaws on the 315 are larger and work on 75% of the boards but not so much on the small boards with components near the edge. Now I can switch between the two in a twist of the knob. Another work of advise, don't bolt it down to your bench, bolt it to a nice flat piece of hardwood with that sticky style shelf liner on the bottom, stays put, doesn't tip over, and you can move it when you want the bench back. ... show more

How did I wait years to get this? If you think you need one, you really do.
This low profile vise is a great addition to my tool collection. Really helps holding odd stuff to free up both hands for detailed work. The infinite adjustment of the angles is really a great thing to have. I really wish I had not waited this long. I have many vises, but for detailed work, this is it. ... show more

Good jeweler's bench tool
I bought this and the low profile head for use at my jeweler's bench. Even though most vises are adjustable, they are hard to work with on a regular basis for fine detail work because they stick too far up, out, or both. This is a quality, refined, well-built unit that adjusts easily, locks tight, and is capable of holding your work down at a reasonable level. I love all of my PanaVise products and recommend them specifically to jewelers as well as any other detail-workers. ... show more

Yes pricey, but it is a lifetime purchase
Skip the cheap version. This is the one to get if you need a soldering third hand.

Perfect
Did everything I needed, with accessories, for processing custom circuit boards.

Solidly made, functional and sleekly designed
I now own four Panavise base units, but this is the first low profile I've purchased. It is being used to hold a vintage articulated lamp / magnifying lens on my workbench. I had to use brass shims around the lamp base stud to fill up the receptacle in this base unit. It is bolted to my workbench, and works great with the lamp. ... show more
