What I use is a cross-lock tweezer used in electrical and jewelry soldering to 
hold the Kadee box and coupler shank together while I place the spring with a 
needle & thread.  Haven't lost a spring in quite a while.  I also seal the box 
with a soldering iron (hint on this list) as I think the box is made of delrin 
and had no luck with glues holding; although the current discussion about 
delrin glues may solve that problem.  Really dumb question; other than this 
being some kind of right of passage, why are these kits and not complete 
couplers?
