	I was looking at mine today, thinking exactly that. . . 
what could I use these for. . .
	They'd be great as secondary terminals for small coils,
or as safety gap electrodes.  The only drawback is the fact that
the chromium coating might be easily blown off, leaving a surface
that would corrode quickly.  Has anyone tried using them?
