[CAUT] Weight of solder

[David Ilvedson]

Keith,

Go to Office Depot/Staples wherever and get the smallest binder clips you can get.   Squeeze one open and clamp onto shank.   Once on, remove clip thingee leaving the black binder on shank.   Easily reversable and you can move them on the shank for different weight.
