I'm a bit of a helping hands connoisseur. I bought several, and have made a few. For pretty much all of them the hands hold better if you cover the alligator clamps with heat shrink on each side.
Here is a brief list of some of my favorite types, in no particular order. I didn't buy these particular ones, my suppliers have varied over the years.

That last one is surprisingly useful, at this point I use it about 50% of the time. It's a good way to not get your fingers burnt soldering small stuff. One finger can hold the holder in your hand, and other fingers can push wire or components to the exact angle and position you want it.

While searching for this list, I came across another one that interests me. I think I'll be making one of these next:

These things are less useful than they appear. I have one. The base is tiny and not particularly heavy so it seems like it's always on the verge of tipping over when you're using it to hold something. This is especially true if you're not using the magnifying glass as a sort of counterweight. If they'd give these things a base with a larger footprint they'd be more stable. For $5, eh, maybe it's worth the price. But that's about all I'd pay.
I have a similar one and its not great. If you are serious about this get something like this https://www.amazon.com/XYK-Helpin...102&sr=8-6

I did this because I found when the wire heats up, the alligator clips tend to tear into the insulation.

This is one of those things that you wish you had when you needed it.
And if you have it, you wish you had a better quality one. Source: I have one.
The magnifying glass is almost useless and the clips are not holding pieces very well.

I bought one of these 10 years ago at some dollar store for $2 .. inflation.
Its helpful holding small objects and smallish wiring when soldering or when needing a hand holding smallish things you are mending.
