[Boatanchors] Heyco Clamps (again)

[Rod Hogg]

Mouser handles the Heyco tools, 0022 and 0032, sorta pricey for ham work
however, $60+ and $130+!

I made my own, got a pair of 69 cent cheap pliers, took them apart and
ground the jaws rounded out one and then ground off the other to leave a nub
to press in the tab.  Crude but works.  Saves tearing up the clamp.

Yep there is such a thing, and if you saw one not knowing
what it was for you wouldn't know what the heck it was for :-).
