I needed to bend the leads of a lot of through-hole electronics components such as resistors and capacitors before soldering for a project I'm working on, so I made this tool to speed up that activity.

The holes of through-hole components are often spaced in multiples of a 1/10th of an inch (2.54mm). This tool has positions for 2 x 0.1", 3 x 0.1", and 4 x 0.1" distances. In the project I'm working on, I need the 3 x 0.1" position most often.
