it's handy Tech under 100 time again but
this time something new a product that can simplify your DIY projects and clamp
your nipples at the same time don't miss
it be quiet! silent Wings 3 fans use a
smooth running six pole motor to remain silent and cool your PC better check
them out at the link in the video description number one here is the
spiritual successor to a product that I bought a while back for a handy Tech
episode then never ended up featuring because it just didn't work that well
this thing sucks every time I've used it
I've been blown away by how long it takes to adjust the position of the arms
and the poor quality of the included magnifying glass so I recently replaced
it with a quad hands helping hands that
absolutely blows it out of the water it includes four locking alligator clamp
terminated flexible goose neck arms attached to a heavy powdercoated steel
base two of the arms are about 6 in Long
these ones will be ideal for smaller projects where stability is key because
a shorter ARM is inherently more stable then the other two are about 15 in Long
making them ideal for holding holding larger items reaching around to provide
additional stability to the small arms or even taking care of your uh other
needs when you're busy and need to multitask as far as suggested
improvements go I love this thing so far but some plastic or rubber guards for
the clamp teeth might be nice so I don't have to cover them to avoid risking
scratching something like a PCB and a couple extra threaded holes tapped into
the base would let me expand it with more arms both both of which are lowcost
upgrades that could be very valuable to potential customers which leads us then
to item number two another spiritual successor this time to the Sennheiser
hh10 an awesome desk clamping headphone
holder that was discontinued almost immediately after I recommended it in
handy Tech episode 1 almost 3 years ago
this is the brain waves hangya and
actually the brain waves truss as well
both of them are under 20 bucks for a well- constructed metal headphone hanger
that will help you keep your headphones off of your Tower your monitor your desk
your floor or wherever else it is that you've got them right now the difference
between the two is that the hanga clamps to the edge of your desk just like the
hh10 did and holds one pair of headphones while the truss actually
takes the space savings a step further and sticks to the bottom of your desk
with an extra ARM that you can use to store your gaming headset and your audio
file headphones for example not bad given that it only costs a few bucks
more I'd like to see a wider more curved
top surface on both of them to help avoid denting the headband foam on the
nice cans you spent your hard-earned money on and I think the truss should
have a couple of holes in the base to allow you to screw it into the bottom of
your desk if you want the included adhesive appears to be the same
excellent stuff included by GoPro on their mounts but it's onetime use and
quality double-sided tape is not exactly available at the corner store so you
might have to wait if you had to order it online or something leading us then
to the next product I am a huge fan of
the steel series qck XXL a 900 MMX 400
MM mouse pad that's big enough for your mouse and your keyboard and like a
secondary Mouse on the other side for your laptop but at 40 bucks it's pretty
expensive enter reflex lab with their
huge gaming mouse pad for half the price
it's a little smaller it's the same width but about 100 mm shorter but I
rarely use the very top of my XXL anyway
and the huge gaming mouse pad has no
tracking issues has a pretty pleasing soft texture to the top has the same uh
grippy bottom so it doesn't slide around and rocks stitched edges to prevent
fraying to boot if I'd seen this one
before I started working on this video I'd have probably ordered the red lemon
version of what appears to be a very similar product for only 14 bucks with
free Prime shipping so you can check out that one too but I haven't personally
tried that one and I don't feel comfortable endorsing stuff on handy
Tech unless I've actually had my hands on it and I have with the reflex lab
version leading us then to our last item for the day these
adorable little thermal adhesive backed heat sinks have you ever wondered how
you can add just a little bit of extra cooling to a mod uh maybe on a vrm
module on your motherboard or graphics card or to some weird controller chip
that just seems to run too hot on an Electronics project well at six bucks
for 20 of these they're a great deal and sure to add not only some cooling but
also a little flare to your next raspberry pie baby
project which brings us finally to the full disclosure part of these handy Tech
episodes since they're structured more as a recommendation to buy with links
below to Amazon compared to a review
item one I purchased by me for me
personally and at work item number two I purchased by me for my use at work since
I'm still using my hh10 at home and for Tan since he's been looking for
something to get his headphones off and away from his desk item three was was
purchased by me just to see if it was good before recommending it because it
was cheap and I was like oh that's cool and item four was purchased by me
because I saw it and I could think of a thousand times that I could have used a
little heat sink like that in the past even having gone as far as to cut up
swifttech MC1 14s into quarters with a hacksaw when I had a motherboard whose
vrm always overheated a number of years ago audio blocks has one of the largest
