I like this! I have a cheap one of the octopus things with alligator clips. It’s super handy, but sometimes not the most stable. Works flawlessly 90% of the time. But for larger wires, not so much. Gonna remember this. I have a bunch of those cheap $1 clamps they sell at Home Depot. They’d be perfect for something like this.
sorry but this clean block of wood is just too nice to qualify here
Agree. Should have used pallet wood
Tree branch...
I have a lot of those, and that would have kept me from crisping my fingers several times doing the monkey-paw helping hands. I applaud this.

I have a solder sleeve jig that is just a hunk of aluminum with a slot milled out in the middle and two alligator clips. Simple is good sometimes.
