Mini Wire Bender

You need a good vise to hold it for bending 1/8" music wire but it does work good.

I had the need to bend a number of pieces of 1/8" music wire. I knew the original black K&S wire bender, #322 was sturdy enough so I ordered the wire bender thinking it was like the one pictured. What I received was not as pictured. I received a K&S 323 which is "not" sturdy enough to handle repeated bends. The approximately 6 inch bending handle is too soft and after a half dozen bends, the pivot hole in the handle had deformed and opened. I reordered the harder #322 wire bender and for some reason received another unsatisfactory soft # 323 wire bender. I called and spoke to one of the persons on staff who apologized for the error and granted me a full refund. I thanked her for the consideration but I still need a good, strong wire bender.
