You might? also look for "battery clips".? I have found some of
these to be a bit better, although they are bigger (and a bit more
expensive).

Many
places sell similar items.? Just do a Google search for
"alligator Clips" to
see
what is available in different configurations.

Alligator
clips (crocodile clips in some countries) either have
mated indentations for
the
hinge, or a rod through both parts to make the hinge.?
The rod or axle type hinge
is
more accurate, reliable, and precise...but they do

I
agree,a lot of alligator clips for the low current
circuit voltage type are very flimsy and tend to
twist.I happened across some better quality ones
at a UK radio rally and bought loads and made my
own up.All the fleabay ones I have seen are
flimsy.
Fellows builders.? This might seem trivial but
bear with me.? I cannot find a source of GOOD
alligator clips.? I have purchased new clips in
bundles of 10 at ham shows, etc.? When pinched
they tend to go side to side rather than
vertically.? I search the web but don't trust the
photos and representations.?
Anyone?
