SOIC/SOP probe stand?

I find using test clips for SOIC-8/SOP-8 flash chips is painful.

Even the praised Pomona clips don’t seem very durable.

The pogo-pin probes look promising but I don’t see how anyone holds those down by hand for a minute or several minutes…

Any suggestions for a stand? The “drill press” type stands for heat insert tools looks decent but surprised there isn’t something specially for chip probing…
