Since I only have one working hand little things like bending wire jumpers are harder than they used to be. So I came up with another tool to help me out building protoboard circuits. Basically you cut a wire to the correct length by inserting it into the marked hole, you cut the wire off and pull it out with tweezers into the tiny hole which is 0.25” deep. Bend the wire and now you got it.

so I am wanting a .5” jumper. I stick the wire into the appropriate length, then cut it off flush with the top of the tool. Using tool a tweezers to pull the wire out of the hole because it ain't coming willingly.

Put the wire in the bend hole at the very end the bend hole is 1/4" deep, which is the part that inserts into the protoboard.
