Soldering Clamps from Cotter Pins with a Screw-Coil Ring (Boy Mechanic, 1913)

Tiny spring clamps for holding small parts while soldering: a cotter pin bent so its legs bow and pinch together, with a coil of fine wire that screws up the legs like a nut for a firmer grip.

Read the Boy Mechanic

"Take a cotter pin and bend it over a small rod to bring the points together."
2

Wind the coil

Wind wire 1/32 in thick round a wire a little thicker than the cotter pin, right-handed, to make a short coil. Slip it over the cotter pin down to the ring end.

Smoke the legs

Hold the legs in a smoky flame until well blackened so solder will not stick to them.

Use it

Open the clamp by pushing a scriber between the legs at the bow, slip it over the parts and let it close. To tighten, push the coil up toward the bow and twist it like a nut.
