Is There a Trick to Tightening the Screws on Handy Helpers?
by elkpass on Tue Sep 27, 2016 5:12 pm
I am new to electronics, and purchased a helping hands, exactly like the one sold here at Adafruit, at Fry's. I find that I can't tighten the screws tight enough to keep it from flopping under it's own weight. I've tried using pliers to hold both the screw and the wingnut with no luck. Is this normal? Is there a trick to using these that I'm just unaware of? Everybody else says they work pretty well, so I'm sure it's just operator error but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thank you.
