The Ultimate Helping Hands

Our story


How we got our start
We needed a sturdy, well-built helping hands device for use in our product development studio. The ones we tried were flimsy, hard to adjust, and would easily tip over with even small projects. So, in true "scratch our own itch" fashion, we created the QuadHands four-armed helping hand device.
What makes our product unique
Manufacturing QuadHands in our own facilities in Charleston, SC, enables a focus on quality and durability that's attracted corporate users including Microsoft, Apple, Siemens, Tesla, and SpaceX.
Why we love what we do
Our purpose is to design and build better versions of things folks are looking for. Offering specialized products for other makers empowers us to multiply that impact, making the world a more creative place!

Product Description

We are Alphidia and we started the QuadHands journey to make our lives easier. Originally designed for internal use in our USA based R&D design studio, QuadHands took off after we saw how life changing they were for us - both industrially at work and recreationally at home - QuadHands is perfect to use for soldering, painting, welding, crafting, miniature, replica, figurine work and more!

We needed a sturdy, well built helping hands device for use in our product development studio. The ones on the market we tried were flimsy, hard to adjust, and came with tiny bases that would tip over with anything but the smallest project mounted to them. Not QuadHands, we've got you covered with bases for any job and add-ons like magnetically attachable extra arms and LED-lit magnifying glasses to bring your helping hands to the next level!

Sturdy, Flexible, Steel Gooseneck Arms

We know what you're thinking..."these gooseneck arms look good but they won't hold, the weight will snap the tension string."...We expertly designed our goosenecks so that scenario WON'T happen. They're made of steel not plastic, and they're threaded down through the baseplate into the rubberized feet. That means they're extremely sturdy and extremely well supported.

**No Geese were harmed in the making of our Gooseneck Arms**

Rubber Feet for Unrivaled Stability

A helping hand product isn’t very helpful if it falls over. QuadHands' steel gooseneck arms run through its rubber feet for added support, balance, and stability. Never watch your hard work go crashing to the floor again! Our rubber feet also help protect your work surface from scratches.

Easy Adjustment Alligator Clamps

Each stainless steel alligator clamp can be adjusted to the exact position you want with the turn of your fingers. The thumb nuts can be loosened in seconds, without tools...but they tighten enough to stay in place no matter what they're holding. We've included 4 soft removable silicone clamp covers because so many of our customers use their QuadHands specifically for delicate microchip and electronics work.

Customers say

Customers like the quality, flexibility, value, and usefulness of the hardware clamp vise.

That said, they say it's well worth the cost and has dozens of uses for hobbyists and DIYers. Customers also appreciate the weight, saying the base is heavy enough to prevent it from tipping over.

53 customers mention34 positive19 negative

Customers are mixed about the size of the hardware clamp vise. Some mention that it's the perfect size and very high quality piece, while others say that it is too small to fit bigger parts and the different arm lengths are an advantage. The weight is over 3 lbs with a large base which greatly reduces tipping. However, some customers feel the size is too large for their bench and the clamps are limited in what they can hold.

"...Their jaws are long and narrow and have the ability to be adjusted and orientated for a precise position...." Read more

"...However, the clips are not the best: they are basic alligator clips, and so don't open very wide...." Read more

"...The arms are long enough to reach up into the chassis for soldering items for repair. I'm sure I will find many other uses for this as well...." Read more

"...I have not found a need to take them off either, they fit snugly over the clamps and do a great job holding PCBs in place...." Read more

Really well made and flexible product. You can't go wrong.
5 Stars
Really well made and flexible product. You can't go wrong.
I've had the quad hands for about 9 months now, and haven't regretted it once. It's really well made, with a heavy/solid base that stays where you put it. The arms are strong with the right amount of memory, so it can take a few seconds to perfectly position them how you want it, but once you do, held objects stays right where you want them.I bought it for soldering projects, and it's worked great for that, but it's also been the go-to tool for gluing up my son's broken toys and many other misc projects around the house. I'm really glad I choose this 4 clamp model over many of the 2-clamp helping hands on the market, as I routinely use 3 or 4 of the clamps. I actually just bought two more arms that attach to the base via magnets for even more flexibility.The jaws come with little silicon covers, which can protect delicate things from the camp jaws. I made the mistake of discarding some of the covers. I dropped a note to Alphidia asking if I could get some replacements, they they shipped me replacements the next day and then dropped me a note to make sure I got them! Unexpectedly great service. I highly recommend the product and the company.
Thank you for your feedback
