[Elecraft] RE: Hemostats (was Freq. counter probe capacitor)

[Haines Brown]

I find that quality makes a difference, and the ones at the computer
fairs may not be the best.

For one thing, with abuse, the cheap ones will break, sometimes rather
dramatically. Also, for fine work, such as holding the ends of two
wires to twist for a bifilar toroid winding, exact alignment at the
working end is important.

While some hemostats say "Pakistan" on them, many (most?) do not. I've
never seen "Germany" on a pair. Anyone know of a source of hemostats
that have top quality?
