100nF 50VDC Monolithic Capacitor

I guess you'd have to pass on it if you had an irresistible prejudice against pliers.

are you trying to say it will melt and ill have to pull it off with pliers? i don't get it

Radial vs axial leads. You might have to shape them.

🤣 he would have to shape the leads to fit if radial too.

yeah it fit no problem new capacitors come with pretty long legs, that was not a issue. nothing blew up and multimeter shows 5v over one of the cap legs so its getting juice.

I guess he'd better get used to pliers, then.

not sure why you would need pliers for either, those wires are paper soft and legs on new caps are pretty long its a matter of sticking 1 wire through then bending the cap around to fit the second leg then soldering it on

It's all about precision.
