Anyone have a suggestion for a good tool to use for pushing wire into breadboards for projects? I'm thinking of just getting a regular pair of tweezers to push the tips in, but that made me wonder if there is a better tool the pro's use for this purpose.

Thanks.

 

Fingers. They've served me well for many years.

Awe, ok. Fingers are good, but I thought I would ask.

 

I use tweezers/forceps that have grooves on the tips to get the wires started. Often, that seats the wires well enough. If not, I use a finger for the final push. Same goes for removing: I use twezers or forceps. The grooves are important, as smooth tips won't be able to grab the wire well enough for removal.

I use a pair of this for many years....

 

I use my fingers or tweezers or long-nose pliers with fine tips. Whatever works.

 

This is my guys:


... and my fingers, of course.

 

These jumpers are also handy, also comes in ribbon for breaking out a header.

I use both curved and straight. At one time these were medical, and hugely expensive. Now cheap.
