Step 4Hack your alligator wire clip leads

Hack your alligator wire clip leads
Tools Required:
Soldering iron
Wire cutters

Parts Required:
Solid core stiff wire - 3"
alligator clips

This is a simple step. Take one perfectly good alligator clip wire lead, remove the alligator clips from the wire and discard the wire, remove the covers from the clips, and solder a short length of solid core wire to each clip to act as a supportive but flexible connector between the clips.

To use this tool, clip one gator to a fixed object, and use the other to hold a wire while you solder.
