I have some secret weapons in my arsenal of building tools. They were made back in the 70's and I know of no source for similar tools. If someone does, please speak up.

I have added a [link=http://www.houseofpylon.com/Tools/Tools.aspx]Tools for Builders[/link] section on my web site and I may offer custom tools as well as tools that are hard to find or just a pain to find and buy.

The first tool is a wire bender. It has two ends. One pin is 3/16" and yields a 3/32" radius bend. The other end is 1/4" and yields a 1/8" radius bend. The advantage of this tool is that you don't get distorted wire from trying to bend in a vise. And it is very easy to bend and re-bend to get just the right angle without having to clamp and reclamp. I definitely think I am going to get these made.
