Great set of "helping hands"

[davent]

Someone mentioned using a helping hand for making cables but i found the 1/4" jack barrel would pop out of the alligator clip so borrowed this idea from somewhere,  works a charm.

Finished cable but you get the idea.

I often think that I could really, really use one of those.

Then I see the sticker price.

I use the same idea for cables. only that I hold the peg with the helping hand

3 or 4 Pegs are also usefull for soldering pcbs (the wooden ones).
