For anyone assembling circuit boards, whether in a production environment, educational setting, or for detailed hobby work, achieving consistent component spacing is crucial. This US-made lead forming tool takes the guesswork out of preparation, providing uniform hole spacing adjustments ranging from 10mm to 38mm. It’s an incredibly handy device that ensures your resistors and diodes sit perfectly before soldering.
This double-sided tool is engineered from durable engineering plastic for longevity. One side accommodates DO47 outline diodes (like 1N914) and 1W zener diodes, while the reverse side is perfectly sized for 1/5W resistors and DO41 diodes (like 1N4004). It’s a simple solution that saves significant time and reduces rework during assembly
