I've watched a local repair man do the exact same thing with a standard soldering gun. He just takes the "Weller" type (copper point which is screwed into two posts) and cuts the copper tip of so there are two copper probes of equal length. Then he puts the gun onto the pad cup or the spine of the metal arm which is sldered to the pad. Then he turns ont he gun and a few seconds later it is ready to melt shellac.
The problem is it does very slightly mar the laquer on saxaphone pads.
The advantage is you probably already have a soldering iron so you are out less than $1 for a new tip. If you don't have a soldering gun you can get one at most garage sales for under $5. Or splurge and spend the $25 to get a new one.
Your clarinet is worth it, just send in the $147.95 and get the glitzy tool!
