# Resistor Lead Bending Tool

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** TOL-13114 · **Brand:** [Sparkfun](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/sparkfun-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/resistor-lead-bending-tool.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/resistor-lead-bending-tool.html.md))

Description: This little piece of notched plastic is a Resistor Lead Bending Tool. Sometimes referred to as a “forming” tool, this little guy provides you with an easy and reliable way to get the exact distance between two resistor leads that you need to PTH soldering. The Resistor Lead Bending Tool is two-sided, with one side offering 0.4"-1.5" spacing for ¼ Watt resistors and the other side offering 0.5"-1.5" spacing for ½ Watt resistors.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $16.95 (inc GST) — $15.41 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 5+ $14.95 (exc GST) · 25+ $14.64 (exc GST) · 100+ $14.02 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Aug 27 and Sep 02.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=TOL-13114:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/TOL-13114:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Description: This little piece of notched plastic is a Resistor Lead Bending Tool. Sometimes referred to as a “forming” tool, this little guy provides you with an easy and reliable way to get the exact distance between two resistor leads that you need to PTH soldering. The Resistor Lead Bending Tool is two-sided, with one side offering 0.4"-1.5" spacing for ¼ Watt resistors and the other side offering 0.5"-1.5" spacing for ½ Watt resistors.

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
