The OMNIFIXO M4
A Swedish-engineered magnetic modular third hand: anodized aluminum base, four articulating arms, and neodymium magnetic feet, built for soldering fine-pitch components and holding small parts still on the bench.
The Omnifixo M4 is not just another third hand, it's a precision tool crafted for modern makers. Whether you're soldering fine-pitch components, assembling miniature mechanical parts, or building prototypes on your workbench, the Omnifixo M4 gives you unparalleled control, flexibility, and speed.
What is the Omnifixo M4?
The Omnifixo M4 is a modular third hand system designed to hold small parts securely while you work. Unlike traditional helping hands that rely on rigid metal arms and crocodile clips, the Omnifixo M4 uses a set of magnetic bases, flexible precision arms, and fine-tuned clamps to hold components exactly where you need them, no wiggling, no slipping.
Engineered for Precision
Swedish Innovation: developed by an engineer called Johann Zita in Sweden, the Omnifixo system was born out of frustration with traditional helping hands. The result is a meticulously engineered tool that combines form, function, and flexibility, perfectly suited for electronics, modeling, crafting, and micro-assembly.
High-End Build Quality:
- Anodized aluminum base
- CNC-machined components
- Custom-built spring-loaded clamps
- Anti-slip rubber feet
- Ultra-strong neodymium magnets

Why It's Better Than a Traditional Third Hand
Traditional third hands often suffer from weak joints that sag over time, inflexible positioning, limited grip types, and cheap build materials. Omnifixo solves all of these: flexible precision arms with ball-joint articulation, secure spring-loaded clamps for a variety of parts, a modular design that expands or reduces as needed, and a magnetic base that anchors to the Omnifixo Baseplate, or to any ferromagnetic surface.
Use Cases: From SMD to 3D Prints
Soldering PCBs
