It can also be used to bend PE metal parts into curved shapes. Wink

Always amazes me how many different things, with a little creativity, can be adapted for use in our hobby.

Griffin...to make springs, coils or loops with wire.

 

When I have such a task...I dig out my drill bit index and use the appropriate diameter drill bit shank. A tool that multitasks is a worthy one.

I've always thought that Mission Model's Multitool was a good idea, but the price was just too steep for the occassional use I'll get out of it.  (2 sizes, $30 retail each).  I was at my local Michaels the other day and saw this in the bead section, a Beadalon product and seems to do almost the same thing..

Costs US $8. Thought I pass it along.
