Ok, so what do we have here then? Definitely an updated version of the much heavier and solidly build ‘Helping Hands’ that I think are still available. From my experience in using this new clip tree, it does a similar job – enabling you to clip your kit parts into the small crocodile clips and hold them so that you can spray away and stay clean at the same time. Useful and time saving!
What you get is a simple self-assembly package that easily builds up into a multiple clip holder. There are six clips that attach to long positionable flexi stalks that in turn push-locate into plastic sockets that fit over the white metal perches. The arrangement is cleverly designed so that the two metal perches that are also positionable sit crosswise enabling your parts to have good separation from one another.
The perched lock nicely into the plastic base that in turn is secured in place at the bottom by a strong magnet to a separate thin metal plate. This is the best design feature of this product for my money – the base isn’t going to go anywhere!
I did find that the fit of some of the stalks into their respective sockets 
was a little loose and that the sockets in turn could have a tighter fit onto the metal perches and it may be that after constant use they may become even slacker, but time will tell on this.
I have started to use the Almighty Clips and so far, so good. Considering the tree doesn’t take up a lot of room it has provided some useful extra storage capacity when spraying kit parts and leaving them to dry.
