Excellent photo, Mark.  That's the fine wire clamp sold by Radio Shack,
two to a package.  Each package had two - one red, one black.  One type
has the end that pushes down open on the end, thus the wooden insert. 
They have another "style" that is closed on the end.that pushes down. 
I've used these little boogers for years and have given many away.  I put
a medical syringe holder over the end to provide a "pusher."  I sued to
use a hemostat.  (Give a nurse a tongue depressor, a hemostat, and/or
tape and she can do miracles!  Betty Ann

This is exactly the Test Clip Adapters from Radio Shack with a hand-made 
wooden handle.


The part number is 2700334 and unfortunately are no longer available from 
"The Source" (formerly Radio Shack) in Ottawa, but I did buy up all that I 
could get my hands on when available.


They are very, very useful and invaluable to use up short ends, or to catch 
on to a broken thread.

with bobbins, I had mentioned I bought a clamp style bobbin from Susan Groh

You press down on the spring loaded red part to reveal the hook and clamp it
on the thread end to finish up that part of the lace.  I haven't had a
chance to use it.  One of those neat lace gadgets I find interesting and buy
and then don't use.  H. ;)
