      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.
