are just tits. Anyway, put an allegator clamp in place of the

couple thou. maybe get one for the other part too.

You may choke on the price, but THEY ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY.


I have one of those - a competitor's version, I think. It is a
FANTASTIC indicator holder. Great idea- using it for soldering!

I got mine when somebody here alerted to it's being on sale - for $65,
IIRC (not MSC). $65 seemed like a lot, but was worth it. $175, I don't
think so. I would HATE to have to decide whether to spend $175 for it -
it's so good, but that's so much.

I just bought this for $19.95
