We here at SparkFun use a lot of ¼ Watt resistors in out PTH soldering kits and have found that this tool is very handy when soldering a lot of resistors at once or over a longer period of time. To use this tool, simply insert your ¼ Watt or ½ Watt resistor into the desired spacing groove and bend the leads over the edges. It’s that simple!

Note: 1/6 Watt resistors and specific diodes can be used on this tool but you will need to make sure they are centered before attempting to bend them to your desired preference.

Features:

¼ Watt Resistor Spacing: 0.4"-1.5"
½ Watt Resistor Spacing: 0.5"-1.5"
Made from high impact ABS Plastic
