What to use to hold things to solder?
Berni:
I seen huge differences in quality among non brand name crocodile clips.
I had some that had jaws so out of wack that it looks like they just lost a kickboxing match, upon trying to align the jaws a bit better the whole thing just fell apart completely. But then i also found no name crocodiles that are are really good, the jaws close properly, bite just fine on thin wire, no weird side to side play, the covering rubber is nice and soft even after many years etc. Similar deal with ready made crocodile cables, some are shit some are good, but sometimes its only the cable that's crap and you can easily replace that with your own.
But if you go for the cheapest crocodiles you can find on all of chinese ebay then you can generally expect to get useless garbage.

Ok! That's pretty interesting. So, I'll have to rely on luck on that's all? Or is there any criterion to now in advance?
