I’ve got one of these adjustable PCB holders on my workbench, but I’ve always complained that it’s way too light so it moves around too easily. I took the plastic caps off the three hollow metal bars, and plan on filling it with something to give it heft, but I’m not too sure what to go with. Originally thought lead pellets, steel balls, or iron shavings would be ideal since they’re quite hefty and I thought cheap, but apparently all three are pretty pricy these days. Sand? Pennies? Cement? Any of y’all fill your PCB holders to keep them hefty and solid?
