I believe the answer is:

soldering iron

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'joining a club used by electricians' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'joining a club' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'joining' could be 'soldering' (soldering is a kind of joining) and 'soldering' is located in the answer.
'club' could be 'iron' (type of golf club) and 'iron' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for soldering iron that I've seen before include "Circuit builder's tool" , "Tool for making electrical joints" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
