CONDUCTIVE Leads Forming Tool

These are leads forming tools designed to bend resistors, inductors, diodes, jumpers or similar into tenth inch increments for use in through hole soldering or breadboards. 

These are designed to fit a given power specification. Most components are quarter watt, so this is the only sized offered directly. 

These are made from a conductive filament. This means the tool is able to dissipate static electricity as part of ESD protocols. The filament does have a high resistance, reducing the risk of shorting or sparking near energized components unlike similar metal tools.

he standard versions have 8 sizes, while the XL versions have 16. This is an original design for this type of tool that was created for use within Rhizome Laboratories, but printed items are available to all electronics creators. As a preventative measure against counterfeits, the design files are not publicly available. Additionally, there is a laser etch on the backside indicating that this object is conductive, which also adds a distinction between these and their cheaper, non-conductive counterpart on my site.

This may be of interest to institutions, factories, clubs, or similar where a large order is needed. Rather than clean me out, for large orders (5+) please reach out as a custom order. I'm able to customize these to fit different power ratings, and I can apply different laser markings for no additional charge. And as a thanks for not emptying the general audience inventory, custom orders greater than 5 units will also get a 10% bulk discount.
