I had a wonderful panavise with the long board side holders, but stupid me left it at a job I left about 4 years ago. Now, I'm using a cheesey miniture vise that kinda sucks.

What are the blue arms made of?

 

What are the blue arms made of?

Look here LOC-LINE.

 

Table vice, small PCB base with flipping function and a big bolt to hold things down.

 

I know from experience that the loc-lines won't hold up very long. They are used on machines(mills,lathes) to direct coolant or air to the tool. After a short while the won't even hold their own weight from moving.

Are you in the US? If so have you seen these? http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=helping+hands The one for $6.99 even has a soldering iron holder!

 

Minimalistic approach. Have a look.
