Dear modeler friends.
I like you to lend me a hand (never better said ;-) with this project: I am very excited about it because I think you´ll love it as much as I do but … it never hurts to have some feedback and hear what others have to say.
This product is the outcome of my own experience building models and electronic stuff and the annoyance I used to feel when handling small bits and pieces. But now, with fixÓ that´s water under the bridge: no more spared parts and contortionist postures to hold things in place. I explain all about it here (beware it´s work in progress!) and we´ll soon be launching an indiegogo campaign to ask your support

I am very interested in your coments and observations,

Thanks in advance

There are several third hand tools out. Some use alligator clips and others(my preferred) use tweezers. I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks, for the tweezer point.
The advantage of ours is that is very compact and easy to set precisely.
The system uses a magnetic system to hold the ball and the movement is super smooth.
Thanks

Dear friends:
We finally have our crowfounding campaign running at

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/fixo-lends-you-a-hand

Its been a lot of work making the prototypes and refining all the details, but now we have all shorted out.
But we need your help to make it possible, so please spread the word.
We have some items at a very reduced price for early adopters, so hurry up and pick up yours.
Thanks for all your support.
