Definitely a needed tool, it looks heavy which could help but the aluminum construction might dissipate heat making it a little more difficult

One would never know without using it, so I'm definitely not knocking it like I said it looks valuable..

Get a Pana-vise. They have a version with two alligator clips that you can adjust to hold the wire and connector separately, then just solder.

Useful for lots of stuff besides connectors, too.

I need to take a picture of my tried and true contraption. All WOOD. No heat robbing metal involved.
