The Sparkfun Resistor Lead Bending Tool is a practical device designed to ensure precise spacing between resistor leads for PTH soldering. This double-sided tool accommodates both 1/4 Watt and 1/2 Watt resistors, providing reliable spacing options for efficient soldering tasks. By inserting the resistor into the appropriate groove and bending the leads to the edge, users can easily achieve consistent results.
Note: This tool can be used with 1/6 Watt resistors and certain diodes, but they must be centered before bending.
