I remember in the late 1960s, I owned one, only, germanium transistor

I still have a soldering heatsink I made - a small crock clip with thick
copper wire soldered into the jaws
And at some time, Practical Wireless gave an aluminium tweezer-like
heatsink to clip onto leads whist soldering. I still have mine
somewhere
I have always simply squashed the jaws of a small croc clips so they
resemble serrated scissors and used them. You can three or four in a row
as the squashed jaws are only about a mm wide.
