Wire bending pliers - nifty little tool [View all]

After many, many years of using needle-nose and other pliers to bend wire to my will, I bought a pair of wire bending pliers. Very nice. No longer will I suffer in shame as people point and laugh at my marred, crooked, homemade S-hooks and similar doo-dads. Also, I don't think I'll be needing any store bought S-hooks for a long time.

The ones I bought can handle fairly heavy wire coat hanger stock, but probably not much more. Also handles even heavier gauge, but softer, wire easily. Different sizes (radius) available.

Not exactly life changing, but pretty nifty.
