Tool Tip! A better Way To Hold Small Parts 

Just stumbled into your channel. Sewing machines are awesome tools. I think your demo is to show the clamp and I find jewellery tools are handy in many situations. What really surprised me at first glance, "People actually rebuild a 15 class bobbin cases?" I moved on from sewing machine repair about 20 years ago after 30 years of doing it. (Did I just show my age?) It's great of you to show people how these things work and what to do if they don't. 1 of the most common problems I used to see was the needle in wrong. I always checked a machine the moment a customer brought it in for the needle, if it's threaded right to trouble shoot before they left it. With the needle in wrong, I'd tell them right away "Let me show you why it's not working. I'd turn the needle to correct position , Thread it up and sew away. I'd also show them the correct way to thread it. Sometimes people forget. Ever tell someone their machine was threaded wrong and they reply "I've been sewing for 30 years, I know how to thread my machine!" Haha. Side note, Anyone with a 3D printer..... Doesn't need the mailman.

Micromark carries one as a Universal Clamp, but they also sell a bunch of others in different sizes and different configurations. Thanks for sharing, though.... We like to see new gadgets and gizmos!!❤❤

Thanks Bob, I'll have to acquire this!

OMG that is so cool... that's a no brainer.

Thanks Bob

I enjoy seeing all the tools you have & how you use them. I’m a nail tech, and have found a lot of nail tools are small and very precise so they can also be used in sewing machine maintenance. I use similar nail files as you, but let me suggest that if you’re going to buy very many, it will be cheaper to purchase them elsewhere. Nothing against Sally’s, I buy some things there, but there are brick & mortar stores as well as online stores that have better pricing.

I'm 73 and never seen this tool - ordering one now - thanks Bob

We use a vice like that for jewelry making and to hold objects for engraving. Great idea to use it for sewing machine parts!!

Great Tool! Happy 4th of July! Stay cool!

I was a jeweler. You can coat the pins with rubber so they can get a better grip and not damage the parts. Also you can trim one side of the pins to make them flat or concave. Or create your own odd shape pins for different shaped parts. Because round vs round doesn't hold well 🥸

Great Tool Bob. Ordering one now!! thanks for the tip

What a sweet tool! Really helpful for other arts & crafts (gotta get my dad one for his model railroad).

Very cool tool, I just booked the hands free version through your link. Thank you, I could have used this thousands of times…

What an odd tool! I’ll continue to add to my multi-year Amazon shopping list! Most recently, I added a third-hand tool for soldering. Next….alligator forceps. Oh, and I never used to buff my machine parts…until I virtually followed you. Thanks for adding extra work for me! 😂. Happy Fourth! Thank you for your service. 👏

Great idea, Bob. I have a watch case vise that’d probably work pretty well for that. Thanks as always

Used your link and ordered one. Thank you for the video

Looking at the comments seems I'm not the only one who has never seen one of these before.

Interesting!!! 🎉

Is there a polishing compound that you suggest? I’m new to this. I ordered one … Thank you! 😊

I've got a machine on the bench I just can't bring myself to finish.......I wonder what my problem is? How you doing buddy? Great 4th.
