Well the test is done. It handled ⅛” music wire easily. The bend didn’t quite make it to 90*. You do have to have your vice anchored pretty good. I made 2 of the small hooks out of 3/32” music wire. See my next post.

I’m sure this bender will handle 5/32” wire. My plan is to make another, better quality, for 5/32” wire. Then with spacers I can use it for ⅛”, 3/32” and 1/16” wire.

You do have to make your triangle piece so it provides a bend beyond 90*. Also, you need to soften the right angle point so you have gentle bend radius.
