Hi,
I'd like to make the best contact possible between an alligator clip and a copper tube. The obvious solution is to just make the clip bite the tube's edge (1st pic below). This is good but it doesn't seem very solid since the clip can come off easily if we pull it without paying attention.
I found another solution (2nd pic below) which consists in drilling a little hole in the copper tube in order to place a screw inside it, so the alligator clip could bite this screw instead of the edge and make a more solid link.
But the major flow I see to this is that the contact between the screw and the clip won't be very good (if the screw is not made from copper). I don't know if copper screws exist, but a regular inox screw will not preserve the contact quality I think.
Do you have a better idea to improve this please?
Thakns for any help, and my apologize for my english it's not my native language
