Repair Clamps

The magic repair clamps shown in Figs. 258 to 260, are used for holding various kinds of work in position, while repairing, soldering, etc. In addition to the uses shown in the illustrations, it is also applicable for dozens of operations that will suggest themselves to the possessor. It is so arranged that the end screws can be used as feet and the handles as a support (as shown in the illustrations), so that the tool with the work in it will stand up, leaving the operator free to use charcoal or asbestos block with one hand and the blow pipe with the other. It is especially valuable for holding dials, when soldering on feet.
