I need to make myself some of these. No more hot fingers from holding parts in alignment. I love it.

I never realized how handy these were til I made one and used it once. Now cant live without them.

Very good detail to put copper in the tip that makes contact with the piece to weld, thank you very much for sharing. Hugs from Argentina!

You get a hand for the simple design Gary, well done.... Mike

I'm not a metal guy so...Why the copper tips? So they don't fuse to pieces your welding or do they grip better since the metal is softer? Thanks, I like your videos.👍

Yes, they don't stick if they catch an arc!

I can see how those would be handy gadgets,, I notice you use inches and mm, is that typical in your country, I know we have to have both SAE and Metric tools here for the last several years.

Peter, yes I watched it a while ago when you mentioned it to me. I found the sound a little difficult to hear being half deaf and suffering with tinnitus! I think one or two of your meanings might be a bit tenuous but most people wouldn't know. Quite entertaining.
