Wow people are really immature and sensitive on this site. This forum is like going to a 1/10 race. There are always those crybabies that show up!
I honestly don't keep track of anyone's name and I don't recall having any bad blood with you in the past, all I can say is that I choose to live my life in love instead of fear ever since I was hospitalized during COVID a few years back. Life is too short to waste it on fear. Never intended to ruffle your feathers, was trying to be helpful and honest to the best of my ability. Playing the victim isn't going to help keep this thread open either

FWIW I find it interesting to see all these wacky inventions that literally do the same thing which I might consider if they weren't so overpriced where I paid less than $5 for my set and currently they are around $7:
Amazon Amazon

I even saw a set here for over $100 and it just made me do a facepalm because it doesn't offer me anything that I don't already need, but if you have money to burn, here ya go buddy!
Amazon Amazon

I have limited space in my pit box so what I linked first is what goes with me to the track

You might be right, but I would rather have a working object than a broken one.

It's always amazed me what people choose to argue about. Yeah, I know, I'm no exception.

There wouldn't be an argument as long as everyone understands I'm always right... well, except for my first choice for a wife, then that one time at camp, and... I think I better stop now.

Sounds like something a beta male would say.

I’ll use reverse tweezers or a vise or helping hands or lineman pliers with a rubber band to hold them shut when I solder my XT60. Or I’ll just plug it into another XT60…

I always plug connectors together when soldering. It prevents the pins from walking should the plastic be overheated during soldering.
