ABSTRACT:
An adjustable lead bending tool for use in bending the leads of electronic components comprises a pair of opposed elongated bending arms, each of which is in the form of a right triangle when viewed in plan. The hypotenuses of the two triangles face each other so that the distance between the outer edges of the arms remains substantially constant over its full length. The two arms terminate in measuring tips adapted to engage a pair of lead holes of a printed circuit (for example). The upper edges of each arm includes a series of grooves in which electrical components may be placed so that the leads, when bent against the sides of the two arms, will conform exactly to the desired dimension. The tool may include special grooves for bending the leads of very small components, specially aligned holes for straightening the leads of solid state components, and a measuring scale to calibrate the distance between the two lead holes.
