Heavy duty Wire Bender

Bending heavy duty wires for your big game lures really can be a pain when using a plier, and the result is often inconsistant and hard to fit into your mold. By building this little wire bender, I have reduced my production time a lot while also getting much more precise and consistant results. Cost - Less than $5
This video contains a guide to building this tool, and shows how it is used.
The tool itself is inspired by something i saw on this channel: / @angelswayofadventure8368
Also follow my facebook page to see what is going on at the studios: / splishsplashfishing

    You can save yourself a lot of filing by using steel collars then one of the collars and be adjusted up and down the shaft and held in place with a set screw, then you can remove the set screw in the other collar and replace it with a long bolt for the handle. I know I know....Cost. Anyway, it's worth it. Great job! Fantastic video!

About your cutters...I'd hazard a guess you natively speak German so, if that's right, you may like this: Knipex 71 12 200. Baby bolt cutters, made in Germany. Absolutely amazing. I use them for fencing (barbed wire, woven, high-tensile, and for cutting small aircraft cable (1/16, 3/32, and 1/8). Great cutters and I think they're smaller and yet would provide more cutting power than it appeared your set has. FWIW. Thanks again.

    Instead of those wood/deck screws or the 4mm bolt you can use cheap or worn out/broke drill bits,they're usually high speed steel unless they're very cheap.They're very strong and resist wear a lot more than screws and the usual grade 5 bolts you get at a hardware store and come in all kinds of sizes. When marking the bolt you can use a Sharpie or Paint Pen then scratch your mark on it.You also need to use a center punch,even on a drillpress the bit can "walk" throwing off your hole placement....and do use a oil to drill the holes,doesn't matter what type/kind of oil,it does help the bit to cut better and adds to it's life.
