Subject: Wire bender design

I am looking for a plan for a with bender or the name of some firm that
sells them.  As I remember they have two pins that hold the wire on one
part of the tool.  The other half of the tool is hinged and has one pin to
bend the wire.

Suggestions?

I have the K&S Mini Wire Bender (K&S) Engineering, 6917 West St.,
Chicago, IL 60638 (312) 586-8503. I bought mine from a (model-airplane-oriented)
hobby shop, and it works well.

It consits of two parts: the first is a 3/8" x 1" x 1.5" block of steel with two
pins, each .875" long, one .25" and the other .185" in diameter. The pins are
pressed into holes about .5" apart. This block with pins is clamped into a vise.

The other part is a 1/4" x 1/2" x 6" bar with a rubber handle on one end, a .25"
hole at the other end, and a .185" x .5" pin pressed into a hole centered about
.325 from the .25" hole, towards the rubber handle. This bar is used to bend the
wire.

Hope this helps.
