I have spent some time reading posts regarding bending wire and everything is to me large diameter wire.
I need help bending smaller wire. 1/8" Dia. wire and under. This may seem silly to some but I have had trouble making anything more complex than a simple "L" shape.
I use a pair of Vise Grips or for even smaller a pair of hemostats.
My problem is mostly alignment and angles other than 90 degrees.
Help please!

I own a set of old z bend pliers...can;t remember who made them but they were the most popular ones in the 70's and 80's.. nice chrome metal, red handles, well made,...but used a different type of bending method . The wire was pushed through to where you wanted to bend it, and the handles compressed, walla, a perfect z bend.Seems like they would only do 1/8 inch or less wire.I have not been able to get a pict from the net...so they may be discontinued.
