This may be very obvious, so excuse me if it is, but i needed a way of "collecting" wire runs together on perf board builds, ie: joining 3 ground wires at the board.
I just took a staple from my staple gun, pushed it through 3-4 perf hole spaces and bent it together on the other side ! makes soldering several wires a breeze and also works well as a "joiner" for two pot lugs.
Well i thought it was quite cool anyway........!!

Cool thinking! I've always used leads clipped off parts to make jumpers/busses. But the staple idea is handier, I think, since you can always keep a row of'em around and not worry about keeping track of clipped off ends.
Do they take solder easily?
