This begs the question...
WHY are they springy? Does that serve some useful purpose? If so the reason escapes me.. Just seems they would be a lot easier to work with if they weren't THAT springy...
YMMV

Adel clamps are kind of like your second grade teacher. All she wanted to do was teach us new vocabulary words!

As said earlier in a post, a loop of lock wire will also do the trick
