What do you use to hold cables as you solder? I'm looking for ideas as i need something, my searches came up short.

Thanks.

I use a Panavise with attachments that have clips.

As UNCLE ERIK said a PANAVISE with att. works great! Sometimes I'll Tape the wire onto a nice straight piece of wood cut for this purpose and let the work end hang over to solder connectors in place......Don't tape over a finish braid or mesh, especially when using 200MPH tape.........that can get messy!

I use Third Hands for soldering wires, Panavise for PCBs.

If you're fortunate enough to have a Harbor Freight Tools store nearby they almost always have "Third Hand-type" devices on sale for under 5 bucks - usually way under
