Leads forming tool
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. Other colors, or tools for components larger than half a watt, can be purchased through custom order.
These are made from PLA and are not ESD safe. A conductive variant is available as the "Conductive Leads forming tool." To avoid confusion between models, custom orders of this non-conductive version are not available in black or similar very dark colors.
The 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.
