What it does
- Bends component leads to clean, repeatable angles fast
- Pins to your breadboard so you can work two-handed
- Saves your fingers from sore pinches and bent leads
- Compact size fits in any electronics tool drawer
Stop fighting bent component leads with your fingers. This small lead bender gives you clean, square bends every time, so your resistors, diodes, and capacitors sit flat on the board. Your projects look tidy and your fingertips stay happy.
The tool pins straight into your breadboard with a jumper pin. Once it is locked in, you bend leads with one hand while the other holds the part. The geometry sets a sharp 90-degree angle without crushing the lead.
Hobby electronics work goes faster when small jobs feel small. This bender frees up table space, fits any toolbox drawer, and earns its place on any maker bench.

What it is made of

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
