Looking for a handheld wire bender.
Post Body

It's nearly 4am so I'm a little out of it, but I'll type this the best I can.

I volunteer at a bike co-op and have started to bend spokes from the trashed rims that normally go to land fill, into cool little things with my pliers. I made a couple key rings but I really want to make jewelry, which require bending the wire at tight angles, near each other. I can't really handle that with the needle nose pliers I have.

I keep seeing random images of electrician pliers kind of doing what I need, but I'm not really sure if that's the right choice. So here I am. Do you have any recommendations? Ideally, I'd love to be able to use it with one hand and ease.

I'd like to make bracelets and things like that. That's just with the spokes, I'm excited for the bags from tubes and tires!
