This is modeled after a tool that I saw in an old 1960's electronic hobbyist magazine the other day, with a few slight improvements. Component lead bending tools are nothing new on here, but this adds a level of precision to your bends. Simply place the points of the caliper in the two holes in to which you are going to install your component, place the part in the middle of the gap on top and bend the leads around the edges. For extra precision you can install a screw in the hole on top of the slide. Then, you can tighten down the slide so it can't move while you bend your leads. No more guessing how far apart you need to bend the legs of your resistors or any other axial leaded discreet component.

I am a self-proclaimed know-it-all. I will tackle any project regardless of my experience, or lack thereof. Always ready to learn something new. With over 25+ years experience in electronic repair and 10+ years experience in small engine / ATV / motorcycle repair, there is nothing I can't fix, modify or build. Why a pepper? In case anyone is curious as to why there is a hot pepper embossed into most of my designs... My nickname is Pepper and that little pepper logo is a hell of a lot shorter than "Copyright © 2017 by Derek J.G.
