    If your trying to make wireforms I use brake line bending pliers, a vise to hold dies or sockets to bend the right sized ends for drops or blocking walls. And a autobody metal fine bumping hammer. I bought that same tool and it just does not produce the same results. Just for a example I made the snake wireform with the tools mentioned above. That tool is very limiting.

    Quoted from EvanDickson:

    Bending with any kind of precision. Like if I want to make a lane guide to a precise length, with sharp right angles at each leg, and both legs parallel to each other rather than being askew, how can I do it?

    Best way is with a black marker, vise and hammer. You just need to know to subtract the diameter of the rod. If its 1/8 rod you subtract 1/8 of an inch at bend point as the rod itself is part of measurement as bent.
