Heavy duty Wire Bender

[@johnnybeane2090]

The smartest person for wire bending I have ever seen.

[@orosalsero]

That wire bending tool is absolutely brilliant, thank you for the inspiration.

[@MrCheesypickles]

The best and most simple one I've seen yet! I will definitely be making this tool

[@jamesfreda1903]

Very excellent! You have made my search for a dying wire bender complete. Thank you.

[@billgausman5887]

Very nicely done!! Excellent instructions, both how to make and how to use! Gimme that tool!

[@nelsonsanchezriveronn4003]

Excellent...I am really needed this tool for made my lures...it is easy to do, you're a good teacher. Good explanation step by step. Thanks for.

[@outdoormindz3621]

Your videos are very educational and inventive!!! Keep up the great work!! Gimme that tool

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

great tools, great video, i really like how you measure out the eyes on the mold, i may have to make one of these, thanks

[@SplishSplashFishing]

With this tool I can make wires that fit the mold nearly 100% - And still do it faster than I normally would. Cheers

[@pakde8002]

I'm frankly surprised you don't have one of these. Love your channel from way back. Had to go back and see your playlist. "Mackerel Feathers from Coffee Package" I found you back when I was looking for ideas for lures from recycled materials.

[@randychinery-kq8ru]

I appreciate this ingenuity very much. This is an attitude and approach and resourcefulness I use in my work. Consequently, I have only one friend. 🙏📿✝️. Looks like a great set up/ shop 😎👏🤛👍

[@bumpy_moleskine]

A small piece of flat steel with a ~2mm hole close to one end would be perfect for wrapping the wire around at the end & less awkward than the pliers. Great video & tool, Thank you

[@garyhitchcock2847]

Gimme that tool ! I was thinking of buying a wire bender, this one is all I would need, love the video.

[@northerntroutbuddy9432]

Finally another video from you! Thank you for the added value of your videos and your friendly manner :) ... gimme that tool

[@anthonyalleyne8724]

Great Video! thanks for showing how to make it. I am trying out lure fishing, it's OK. I guess I have to get accustom to the techniques.

[@kamarte]

Great job! Good to see you back

[@PENFOLD1962]

#"Gimme that tool"... Absolutely fascinating, the precision is absolutely perfect. I'm making my own wooden lures so the wire bending tool would be perfect. Some kind person set my workshop afire last year I lost everything along with all my tools I'd collected over 45 year's so to make something like this would be impossible. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE. Thank you for being so generous, take care my friend 👍😷👍

[@SplishSplashFishing]

What a bummer loosing all your tools - Hope you are getting back on track

[@AAE-cg1il]

Oh my that is terrible.

[@aaronfernandes1543]

Awesome instructions. One will think it's complicated but it's so simple. Gimme that tool!!! 😊

[@SuchaJerkCustomLures]

Hi there 👋 this is one of the easiest ones to do 👍 no welding needed 🙂 since I don't have drill press, my accuracy will be little off, so I think I will downscale the diameter of the pins a little, anyway I'll be using max 1.2mm wire 😉

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Good luck with it

[@wasntPete]

A well presented video. Gimme that tool

[@FrugalFlyRodder]

I read through some of the comments looking for someone mentioning adding a drop or two of oil to the tip of your drill bits. Trust me, your bits will cut better and last much much longer. Good video by the way.

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Thanks. I'm sure you are right and thanks for the tip.

[@johanollenberg8930]

"Gimmie that tool" Love your videos ❤️ keep up the great work 😃

[@villepeltola2564]

Gimme that tool🤩 I always learn new things from your videos👍

[@grassroots9304]

Nicely done. Thank you for the time and effort to make and post this video. About your cutters...I'd hazard a guess you natively speak German so, if that's right, you may like this: Knipex 71 12 200. Baby bolt cutters, made in Germany. Absolutely amazing. I use them for fencing (barbed wire, woven, high-tensile, and for cutting small aircraft cable (1/16, 3/32, and 1/8). Great cutters and I think they're smaller and yet would provide more cutting power than it appeared your set has. FWIW. Thanks again.

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Actually not german, but danish - I think it sounds alike if you don't speak any of them. thanks for the advice on the bolt cutter. It looks really nice, and has enden up on my wish list

[@grassroots9304]

@@SplishSplashFishing Yeah, that's a hazard of not being in a diverse population (where I am)...it's hard to accurately pinpoint accents. I'm sorry for my confusion. And I wrote the wrong model number for the Knipex, it should have been 71 01 200.

[@johnb9871]

Beautifully explained as always! Gimme that tool!!!

[@HuntingG-Man]

Very nice build! Gimme that tool!

[@EmersonIvankovic]

Very nice design ,very simple to build ,great video and all explained nice,very good job

[@cookiemonster8877]

Question: if the two pins on the bolt were of the same diameter, would that affect the bending process? Does the cornering pin have to be smaller than the loop pin? Obviously, I have bolt options that are big enough for those considerations. Thanks!

[@abmoliveira]

Gimme that tool ! Thank for share your work. Admiro este empenho em trasmitir o conhecimento ! Saudações desde Portugal

[@fd-cnc]

Great video !! A small suggestion... Just before bending at 90° (at 13:00 in your video) you can put a sleeve just above the buckle for even more solidity 😉 Gimme that tool !!

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Thanks. You could do that, but I am not sure its needed with this lure. Once the wire is embedded in resin it wont move. However, if using the wire for wooden lures it could be a sound idea.

[@pakde8002]

@@SplishSplashFishing not the way I make traces in wooden lures. Everything gets epoxied in. Takes a bit longer but you could pull a truck out of a ditch with it. Well, a small Japanese truck anyway 😁

[@AAE-cg1il]

Gimme that tool……..That is the most compact wire bending tool I have seen. Elegant solution……

[@EG-cc3ux]

Will you have any stock soon? I would really like to buy one.

[@nikolaskoumbaros9901]

Hi! Great video. I would love to se a video of how you make a metal jig or what we call in Swedish for pilk. Because I'm trying to build my own but it is kinda hard to do and I would like to se how you would do. But only if you have time!

[@wallyhaskett6737]

[@Glmejabr]

Another awesome video well done, Gimme that tool.

[@Keumawe]

amazing very useful thank you for sharing expensive knowledge

[@Counselor77]

You can save yourself a lot of filing by using steel collars then one of the collars and be adjusted up and down the shaft and held in place with a set screw, then you can remove the set screw in the other collar and replace it with a long bolt for the handle. I know I know....Cost. Anyway, it's worth it. Great job! Fantastic video!

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Thanks mate. I will look into you suggestions

[@dailysurfdeams6527]

Great details. Thank you so much for the explanation. Hope to find a way to make one for me one day. 😅

[@jamiewong11]

Can you please make a vid on how you make the polaris popper?

[@SplishSplashFishing]

IT was my intention to do so. Just had to make sure that I was able to produce something that actually worked first :D

[@蔡文和-y7o]

Thanks for your sharing. Can you sell a set the wire bender. Because I can not find the same size of bolt in Taiwan.

[@SplishSplashFishing]

You are not the first to ask, and even thought it was not my intentions. So I think I will make a few. However you will have to follow my facebook page to see when they are released for sale: facebook.com/splishsplashfishing

[@sambadro2737]

Hi Jergen, "GIMME THAT TOOL" is cool cheap DIY for small wire gauge bender project. The fabrication was time consuming but thereafter it much flawless to bend such wires. I'm in the mid of creating similar design wire bender for slightly heavy gauge with nut made of cobalt steel. Hope this work.

[@hergey30]

[@ronnieramenins6935]

Hi sir... what size bolt do you use for the center axle...thank you

[@SplishSplashFishing]

It's a 12 mm bolt

[@WoodScienceGuy]

Great tutorial. Gimme that tool.

[@rider660r]

Instead of those wood/deck screws or the 4mm bolt you can use cheap or worn out/broke drill bits,they're usually high speed steel unless they're very cheap.They're very strong and resist wear a lot more than screws and the usual grade 5 bolts you get at a hardware store and come in all kinds of sizes. When marking the bolt you can use a Sharpie or Paint Pen then scratch your mark on it.You also need to use a center punch,even on a drillpress the bit can "walk" throwing off your hole placement....and do use a oil to drill the holes,doesn't matter what type/kind of oil,it does help the bit to cut better and adds to it's life.

[@SplishSplashFishing]

I was actually thinking that when i found a broken drill the other day, Better steel and the holes would match exactly. Thanks for sharing anyway

[@damiengill1159]

[@AerialPhotogGuy]

Thanks for posting this, I have to do some wire bending but not for fishing lures. I have a small basement machine shop so this should be a quick and easy build. Thanks again for the idea! :-)

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Yes - surely it can be used for other applications than fishing lures. Hope i will but usefull

[@AerialPhotogGuy]

@@SplishSplashFishing I just made one very similar to this but for 1/8th wire, I had to use a 7/8" bolt and it worked great. Thanks again!

[@SplishSplashFishing]

@@AerialPhotogGuy wow - 1/8th wire is truly heavy duty, but I guess that as you have to upscale the bolt as well it will work nicely. Thanks for the comment
