I have a PCB vice a lot like the third one from the left on the website, and
I love it.  I use it for stuffing boards, but I pull them off and invert
them onto an aluminum plate or a piece of plywood (whichever is handy) for
soldering.  I also use the vice for panel wiring -- it's really handy for
that.
