I have always wanted one of these but I cannot justify the expense:
KaiserTech
I was reminded of them when watching one of the Mend It Mark videos - he has an ancient one. There are plenty of much cheaper ones on the market but they all lack the foam rubber which is the key. You can fit all the components, close down the lid and they are all held firmly while you turn it over and solder them.
It occurred to me that we could probably build one using standard aluminium extrusion. It does not need to be too big either - I mostly build 3U and 6U Eurocard PCBs. I could probably even 3D print a plastic mounting to fit a standard Eurocard PCB to it.
Maybe we could base it on this much cheaper Kaisertech model: Kaisertech Quick
Edit: better link to Quick model: Large Quick
Cheers
Ian
