it's handy tech under a hundred 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 three fans use a smooth-running 6-pull 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 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 gooseneck arms attached to a heavy powder-coated steel base two of the arms are about six inches 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 inches long making them ideal for holding larger items reaching around to provide additional stability to the small arms or even taking care of your 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 of which are low-cost 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 HH 10 an awesome desk clamping headphone holder that was discontinued almost immediately after I recommended it in handy tech episode 1 almost three years ago this is the brainwaves hanga and actually the brainwaves trust 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 or 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 hanger clamps to the edge of your desk just like the HH tended 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 audiophile 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 trust 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 one-time 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 SteelSeries qck XXL a 900 millimeter by 400 millimeter 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 a hundred millimeters 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 grippy bottom so it doesn't slide around and rock 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 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 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 6 bucks for 20 of these they're a great deal and sure to add not only some cooling but also a little flair to your next Raspberry Pi based project which brings us finally to the full disclosure part of these handy tech 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 H H 10 at home and for Terron since he's been looking for something to get his headphones off and away from his desk item 3 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 4 was purchased by me because I saw it and I could think of a thousand times that I could have used a little heatsink like that in the past even having gone as far as to cut up Swift tech NC 14s into quarters with a hacksaw when I had a motherboard whose vrm always overheated number of years ago audio blocks has one of the largest stock audio libraries on the internet with over a hundred thousand stock clips to choose from we're talking loops
