mrkmson Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 hey, i am a new member, i have read here for awhile but i just now got my registration to go thru, i am making some inline spinners for my son and myself, i have been using some round nosed pliers but i would like to make quicker,neater, and more consistent bends. i have looked at some benders in janns, barlows, and stamina books. i am looking for a decent bending tool that wont require a major investment. any feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

Glaucus Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 http://www.worthco.com/fish/pdf/formtools.pdf Worth wire former, best bang for the buck! I have the Hagens machine, Netcraft 'Tack-L-tool', and two 'cheap' Worth wire formers, and I'd recommend the Worth tool for someone on a budget, or just starting out. It works really great! BTW, the Worth tool can handle 0.031" wire, (& 0.035" if modified with some emery paper and some elbow grease). :!: :!: It's also very important to wear safety glasses when working with wire!!!!!! :!: :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasbass1 Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Cabela's also has a good wire tool. It is designed for .035 diameter wire, I easily modified mine to accept .040 wire for my spinnerbaits. It is a little higher than the Worth, but a real good handheld tool.
