Resistor Bending Tool

A "Resistor Bending Tool", sometimes referred to as a "forming" tool, is a notched piece of plastic which provides an easy and reliable way to get the exact distance between two resistor leads for through hole soldering. It is very handy when soldering a lot of resistors at once or over a long period of time.

Properly forming resistors helps to keep your board looking neat by stopping the resistors from sticking too far above the board and ensuring they’re bent squarely and uniform.

The Resistor Lead Bending Tool is two-sided, with one side offering 0.4"-1.5" spacing for 1/4 Watt resistors and the other side offering 0.5"-1.5" spacing for 1/2 Watt resistors.

To use this tool, simply insert your 1/4 Watt or 1/2 Watt resistor into the desired spacing groove and bend the leads over the edges. It's that simple!

Note: 1/8, 1/6 Watt resistors and specific diodes can be used on this tool but you will need to make sure they are centered before attempting to bend them to your desired preference.

Features:
1/4 Watt Resistor Spacing: 0.4"-1.5"
1/2 Watt Resistor Spacing: 0.5"-1.5"

Made in the U.S.A. from high quality, high impact injection moulded ABS Plastic
