RE: Best way to cold bend landing gear
A good vise is a must , even a small one ;but well bolted to the table. What I've found that really helps with the leverage problem and stops any need to hammer the wire to death IS BUY A SMALL DIAMETER BLACK CAST IRON PIPE , like what they use for gas lines in a home. 18" is fine X 1/2 or smaller diameter. Hold the wire in the vise with the other end to be bent inside your black pipe and bend away.. Wallah, perfect bend no strain..
Good luck
