There's an alternative to alligator clips, use sticks with blutack.

QUOTE(TheEvilMan @ May 2 2015, 12:04 PM) tried a few but either not selling in bulk or it come with wires/rubber protection any recommended places, MR DIY have it? How many you looking? Usually hardware shop do sell them. And yes it always come with the rubber, you have to remove them yourself. Alternatively, if you can wait. you order from taobao. I order 80 c/w stick, so far I only use 20. http://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?id=39597133814

I personally prefer amiami.com due to cheaper price and freight cost. If you buy only one kit, it's going to be more expensive when the kit is available locally. Purchasing 3-4 kits at once can offset the shipping cost and then they will be cheaper than local price.
