About this product
Product Information
Working on a circuit board is delicate work requiring a high degree of precision. One of the best ways to make sure the board stays right where you want it is to use the Aven Adjustable Circuit Board Holder. Also known as a breadboard, this holder measures 6 inches in width by 12 inches high. The holder clamps onto the sides of the board holding it in place. You can rotate the board to a comfortable angle before locking in place.Product Identifiers

Not a Panavise, but worth the money!
I was a bit doubtful when I ordered the 'rotisserie' , but I figured that with a new Panavise PC board frame and base cracking the century mark with shipping, I'd give one of these a try. I'm glad i did. We've been doing a lot of SMD work lately, and it's tough enough without chasing the board around the bench. Now I'm sorry I suffered for so long, a couple more of these are on the way. It had disassembled itself in the box, with the screws in the bottom loose, and the thread plates slid out of place, but after a couple of minutes, it was together. It has surprisingly heavy steel base rails (filled with something heavy), which along with the nice deep rubber feet, serve well to keep it from tipping or sliding around the workbench. There are 2 slotted board holders which rotate 360 degrees if your board is not bigger than about 8” deep. It handles widths to around 9 inches if you hang the base rails off the side a bit. It does take a little practice setting it up to the proper width. One of the board holders has a spring so it end loads the shaft and holds tension on the PCB, keeping it in place well enough for most work, and still allowing intentional rotation or back and forth adjustment. If you want it really solidly locked down, there are 2 thumbscrews that lock the shafts. These thumb screws are the only negative to this little gadget, and it's not because they cheaped out, rather the opposite. They used these fancy molded knob screws, which are difficult to tighten. This is especially true of the ones that secure the base rail width adjustment. The molded heads are so close to the rails, there's no room to tighten them adequately by hand, and if you don't get them tight enough, the tension spring will make the uprights slip. You will eventually pick up the pliers. Before I ruined something using the pliers, I opted to replace the 4 of them with standard machine screws. MUCH BETTER! The rotisserie has captive steel nuts at all 4 adjustment points, so there's no danger of stripping them if you don't try to, and I for one always have a screwdriver handy at my bench. All in all, it's a great tool. It only lost a star because of a minor limitation on large or heavy boards (such as ones with large transformers or electrolytics), and the screw issue. Neither is a deal breaker, and I would have given it 4 ½ stars if I could. It's a great tool for thru hole or SMD, service or construction. It also makes a great test stand, keeping the board up and insulated from errant tools and hardware. Once you use it a couple times you'll wonder how you got along without it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A bit Pricey for this product
This product would be good for working on phone circuit boards. Anything larger than a 4 x 6 pcb would not fit. The board does not hold securly into the vice requiring refit several times before you finish the job. I like the way it rotates 360 degrees however, if t he board becomes loose in the vice, which it does, then the board drops out which could cause damage to the board. This picture is misleading. It should be taken with a ruler in the picture to get a feel for the size of the product. The thumb screws that hold the pieces in place are very small and extremely hard to get tightened. Once tightened, then work themselves loose and require re-tightening during the job. Overall I would say don't buy this product unless you do work on very small pieces and have lots of time to get your work done.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Sturdy and Handy
I acquired this because the "alligator clips and magnifier" option was ridiculously cumbersome when working with a PCB. I'm glad I have both, though. Handles pretty large boards, up to maybe 8 inches. Heavy enough with rubberized feet so it stays put on the workbench. The spring-loaded arm is a little finicky getting just the right compression and I would like the ability to move at least one of the arms without also moving the feet. But with use I'm getting the hang of it. Bottom line is that I didn't pay very much and yet it has greatly facilitated my soldering jobs. I wish I had bought one a long time ago.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

FULLY ADJUSTABLE PCB HOLDER FRAME.....GREAT VALUE & PRACTICAL WELL DESIGNED TOOL !!!
GREAT VALUE & PRACTICAL WELL DESIGNED TOOL !!! ....VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PRODUCT & SELLER. RECOMMENDED WITH NO RESERVATIONS. Probably the best aid to soldering & PCB work since the soldering gun !!! While it isn't the industry standard (PanaVise), it is a very well made and thought out design. Sturdy but light weight. Spring loaded slotted jaws hold PCB's securely in place. Eliminates many of the awkward problems (rotating & flipping the PCB over) encountered involving 'not enough hands' when soldering....a good time saver. Perfect size (takes up minimium bench space) & a very practical solution for working on large to medium sized PCB...down to smaller PCB's. A GREAT VALUE for less than $20 !!!.... RECOMMENDED for anybody doing bench top PCB/electronics repair work...and would probably work well for OTHER hobby small work that needs to be held securely and rotated while being worked on.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

I should have bought this years ago-
This makes repair work so easy! I used it the same day that It arrived to repair a power supply in a Yaesu FRG-7700 receiver. I was able to de-solder, test, and re-solder all of the transistors and capacitors in just minutes. The spring-loaded arm keeps proper tension on the board. Thumb screws can lock everything at any angle. I had no issues with a manual de-solder pump nor solder wick to remove parts. I even held round NMO antenna mounts to solder coax. The board is held at 5" off of the bench, so it is in a perfect position for use with magnifying glasses or small parts. No more leaning over to be in-focus with 5X magnification visors. For the price, you simply cannot go wrong.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

I should have bought this ages ago, before buying my PanaVise.
Don't get me wrong. I love my 'PANAVISE' for its structure and stability on large P.C.Bs. I find my new found friend AVEN 17010 great for the smaller boards, when it comes to kit building, as I can swing things around quicker. Great investment long over-due.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

rotisserie frame
been looking for a rotisserie frame for working on 1/24th scale cars. never could find one. I adapted 2 alligator clips to this and it works great. I can rotate the car 360 degrees and do my detail work just like the real cars are restored on full sized jigs. leaves your hands free to concentrate on the work instead of balancing the car on a box or working with one hand. excellent for my hobby. might buy a second and connect the two somehow for working on 1/18th scale.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Love it but could use some better hardware.
The finger screws used to lock the blue pieces to the main rail could use larger/easier grip screws. same for the top finger screws. At that point the issue would be to not strip/damage it, the plastic feels sort of cheap. Better plastic material and better locking finger screws would be amazing and worth the extra money.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Calling all Technicians and electronic enthusiasts!
If you are perhaps a beginner electronic kit builder, repair technician, pcb assembly, diagnostic technician, circuit board testing and repair, or perhaps a seasoned engineer (as I am of 50+ years)l - You MUST have AT LEAST one of these devices. Have you ever tried to unsolder a component from a PCB using Solder Wick (TM) or other wicking type braid, or perhaps a hand vacuum pump, or even a motorized vacuum de-soldering station without the support of a PCB holder? I have and it usually results in utter frustration! How many times have you tried using both hands with a DVM or scope probes to take some measurements of components on a board without any support of the board? (this only results in not much more than pissing me off). I have been using a PCB circuit board vise manufactured by Panavise (TM) which I purchased from Mouser Electronics at a price of $80.63. This adjustable circuit board holder from Aven certainly beats the dickens out of the Panavise(TM) PCB vise - HANDS DOWN! I am ordering several more of these Aven PCB holders right now for my shop, in my car, and on my home bench, and another as a spare - simply because I can't imagine not having one where ever I may find myself repairing, testing, or building (stuffing) printed circuit boards. I find this device well built, amazingly supportive, and of sturdy construction. I highly recommend this device to others! James N. - Creative Electronics, Inc.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Works great, very flexible in what you can do with it
This thing works great. Its much better than a panavise vise clamp because it gives you better range in moving the board around is able to hold much larger pieces. It holds the boards tightly enough that they dont move but you can still quickly flip it around and rotate it without struggling with it like you do when loosening a panavise. The only thing I wish it had was the arm that helps hold components in place as you flip the board around that the more expensive versions have.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
