        Comments about Duluth Trading Wire Tool, Wire Bender:

        Do you need this item? Probably not... . Is it fun to play with and create handy little tools? Yes

        I cut the straight parts out of my dry cleaning hangers before recycling and keep them in my workshop, there's always a use for straight pieces of painted steel wire. Well, this little tool make shaping and building things out of Those wires fun and easy.

                  Comments about Duluth Trading Wire Tool, Wire Bender:

                  Good for projects that require lighter duty than heavier metal work.
                  It's really fun to think up new ways to apply the wire projects that this jig can be used for. Though coat hangers are too light for most projects, they offer an inexhaustible supply of practice materials for prototypes! Great value.

                  Always looking for little bits of hardware and never seem to have the right thing on hand...or it just needs a custom connector, etc. It really needs some way to secure it to a bench or something though. You can put it in a vise but then when you need it again you have to reset it.
