Dear all
I remember I read a post from Salas (the Wise ) about the possibility to plug in capacitors without soldering them (for testing/rolling), by using... what part again? this I don't remember.
ZM (the Great ) also used something like that on a prototype of his pumpkin I believe...
I'd like to hear myself if/when it really is worth bothering (as many swear) or not (as the other half swears) – to have my own opinion...
Has somebody a picture of how to plug in a can (or a resistor) into a PCB-position without soldering it? I'm not good at desoldering (yet), and would be grateful for a source of inspiration...
Thank you!

Crocodiles?
Breadboard, Google is your friend.
Hei Vovk Z & justanalogue, thanks!
But the breadboard would have to get connected to the circuit, and—how do I connect the caps onto it? (Ahh, crocodiles (but how do I connect the crocodiles? )
I was thinking of snap-in cans, too, and already searched for some sockets of sorts... I'm not yet used to total improvisation and always look for too fancy stuff. I promise improvement!
the tips below look promising ...
into a nice sunday evening!

What about PCB sockets (and pins)?
Those look interesting, thanks!
Any idea for the snap-in cans?

found something
those look interesting:

even though the slots are rather wide...

Here is my capacitor/transistor/diodes ets 0-500V tester.
DB25 type connector connected parallel to 4mm bananas with crocodiles and are universal (fits everything), usually I use crocodiles:
