While doing some work on the Challenger I needed to replace a plastic Adel clamp with a steel / rubber clamp in a very difficult spot to work. Adel clamps, especially steel, can be hard to get the holes to line up with one hand on the bolt and one hand on the washer and nut. I remembered having a forceps in my tool box and it is the perfect tool for the job. A quick search indicates they are available from many sources, some called a "locking pliers". No need to short your medical bag.

It holds the clamp tight enough to align the holes and then can be used to place the clamp in position.
I also have the two cracked / broken exhaust pipes back on the KR and ready to fly.
