Which is better for painting, the 3 Games Workshop paint handles or the new Ergonomic Grip and Xl stability bar on the Hobby Holder?
The Hobby Holder is here! This little piece of hobby gear is another great option for painting your miniatures. The hobby grip is a great for those that are starting out painting and need a little extra stability.
Even if you are a painting professional, this Hobby Holder is sure to make your hobby a lot easier.
Editor’s note: I was not aware at the time we made this video that you can use wine corks instead of the 2L screw caps. The grips are designed to hold them securely.

This super simplistic hobby product is all you need to get started with painting. Other products (like the Citadel Paint Handle) require you to buy two or three different products to get done what the Hobby Holder does all by itself. The standard size supports model sizes like the 25 mm base and can go up to 100 mm-ish.
The Hobby Holder is completely customizable with its various colors that you can choose from. The handle is reversible, so you can use it to paint and prime or even matte coat. Once in position on the Hobby Handle base, your model can easily be rotated to reach all the right spots.
They also now have the option of an ergonomic handle. This handle fits right in with the previous Hobby Holder system, so it’s super easy if you want to upgrade. The green handle is a 56 mm bar that supports up to Terminator sized models with 32 mm bases. A bigger handlebar at 76 mm is now available too, and all of it is made from ABS plastics that are pretty durable!
Now painting Dreadnoughts is super easy with the Hobby Handle paint support. It may take a little extra positioning with larger bases and models, but the supreme ease of use with the Hobby Handle makes it a great product to add to your hobby your arsenal.
Don’t forget you can use wine corks too!
