I need to make new wire guides for my EBD flipper return lanes. I use .093 (3/32") stainless welding rod. It's the same thickness as original but is very hard metal. To make the 90 degree bends, it takes alot of force. I have this tool here and have used it with success on other games with the same wire. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002SX08HM/_encoding=UTF8
I noticed that the center bit on the jig is becoming worn and then today the center bit was turning when it's not supposed to. It turns out that the plastic base has stripped. I can buy another one for $23 but would like to find a more durable tool that can make the sharp bend needed for pins.

Quoted from KenLayton:

Nope, sorry I haven't used it.

It's cheap enough to give it a try.
