The "tool" is a soldering iron. Heat the copper end in a fire, bit of flux on job to be soldered and melt the solder on to item

Well done on getting out Chantal.  At least the ground should have been easy to dig. 

Nice  Soldering iron.  I found one with a great big lump of copper on the end of it.  Made the mistake of showing it to the Farmer and he kept it.  Worth a bob or two, put it in the tub.
