I was thinking about buying a "helping hand" tool with a magnifying glass and two alligator clips to help me with painting fine details on my custom figures. Does anyone else do this? If so, is it worth it? (They ARE only $7). Let me know if you guys think this is a good idea.

I have one and use it sometimes.
The only issue I've run into is that the clips have somewhat sharp teeth so they can "bite" into softer plastics. The magnifying glass comes in handy though for sure. For seven bucks, it's not bad to have in your arsenal. |

Yeah, I was concerned that the teeth might be too harsh on the soft plastic. It should be fine holding a Joe weapon though, right?

The teeth are kinda sharp but there is no real "pressure" being used and I have not noticed any markings on any parts I've put in 'em

The teeth on mine mar lesser plastics, and the magnifyer is damn-near useless, though that could be my brain refusing to adjust to it.
Still, it frees up the hands. |

a lil tip on these, if you are painting say a lower arm, the peg will fit thru the front of the clip so no teeth actually touch the plastic
