Review on 🐊 Nilight 50052R Alligator Electrical Kit by Matthew Thorndike

Overview of Alligator Clips I've used them to make test leads and current jumpers. in teeth making it difficult to hold tiny wires. Solder these. I had no problems with it, but I felt some sediment and dripped it with flux. I had a lot of slag on the iron and on the solder so I know it helped. The ones with screws. Some of the screws were snapped off and they didn't have the little tabs, I wouldn't try to squash them to the metal on that end, it's pretty flimsy. I'm not sure what size they really are. The picture shows metric sizes, but I checked the charts for AWG in metric units and my wire was always too big to fit through the solder hole. I soldered them to the inside of the spring. I smeared everything with flux, wetted the terminal with solder, wetted the wire with solder, and then used the tabs to hold the wire. I then put on a separate clip to hold the wire and act as a heat sink. I used .032 solder to fill the gap and then switched to larger solder so I could fill the parts before melting anything. I've used these clamps as a heatsink, but they don't work very well. I have used others in the past who have done this. They will meet my needs but they are not the greatest.
