Default Wire Bender

Picked up this handy wire bending jig at Lee Valley Tools.

It has worked really well for making wire hooks for mounts, rhizome clips for pots, etc. Propably make excellent pot hangers also. Well worth the $7.00 I spent!

You can hold it in a vise or mount it. I have held in my hand while bending wire and it works fine too. Great for coat hangars! It can bend mild steel wire up to 3/16" or 5mm diameter to any shape.
