 Posted: Fri Feb 28, 2020 1:26 pm Post subject: Revisiting a REALLY handy tool . . . |
 |
|
I think I may have talked about this thingy some
years ago and showed a picture of it. It seems the
thingy in the photo is not to be found having
crawled into the darkest corner of some toolbox.
Needed one for a client project this afternoon.
I built a new one and thought it might be good
to share the rest of the story with the List:
When assembling two or more wires with a solder-sleeve
splice, it's at least a three if not four handed
job. There are a number of soldering-aids for the
workbench that will do the trick . . .but if you're
'in the field' under the hood or behind an instrument
panel, the legacy bench-top Third Hands don't
cut it.
This photo array describes fabrication of a sort
of miniature third-hand. It took only a few
minutes to make and contributed greatly to the
success of my endeavors.

If this one gets stored at the front of the
toolbox perhaps I can find it next time . . .

I like. Would it be even more flexible (pardon the pun) if we soldered a 1-2" piece of solid #12 wire between the clips?

I wish I had seen this early in my wiring endeavors! Related question to the topic...is there a "best" temperature setting for the heat gun when doing solder sleeve connections? Thanks for posting this Bob - stay healthy!!

Wide open . . . You'll begin to feel sorry
for the wire and shrink before the solder
flows inside.
