I’ve been using a syringe instead of pipettes, just take the plunger out, feed the coiling wire through the body of the syringe then put the plunger back in. Keeps the tension while you wrap. Works a treat

What guage are you using? I modified mine also and I have one with a syringe with metal tips.

Here’s the video of the Clapton tool I made. I hate to spam this all over the forum. Last one I promise haha

I thought it’s better off being in this thread

Ask and you shall receive. Yep @Aux another breakthrough, Fused Claptons with the Clapton Tool. I was thinking how to make the fused without them twisting all to hell. Then it came to me. Every video I’ve seen on fusing Claptons they always say load 2 Clapton wires in the drill chuck. So I thought just load 1 Clapton and bend it midway then load the other end into the chuck also, then it would be impossible for the wires to turn and twist and BOOM!!!, Perfect Fused Claptons. Just make sure to use less tension on the twisting wire than you would on a normal Clapton. Less is more in this case.

This will also work for fusing Heavy gauge wire (26g and lower) for a cool double wire Clapton.

Make 1 Clapton wire (8-12 inches)

Fold the Clapton wire in half so they are parallel to one another and squeeze the folder end together with pliers.

Insert the opposite end into the drill chuck .

Wrap with a high gauge wire like you would a normal Clapton.

Make sure to use less tension on the wire you’re using to wrap the Clapton.
Also there may be some slight twisting of the end product, but it can easily untwisted by hand and when wrapping the coil.
