摘要： The present invention relates to a handtool for forming the leads of electronic components into just the right size and shape for insertion into a circuit board. As shown by the drawing the tool itself comprises an integral T-shaped member with a tailpiece slidably mounted on the leg thereof and capable of being locked thereto. The headpiece portion of the T-shaped member and the slidable tailpiece are in an opposing mirror-image relationship with a set of end portions formed as a pair of locator tips and the opposing end portions as parallel planar surfaces. The planar surfaces have matching apertures therein. When the locator tips are set for the component space, the tailpiece is locked to the leg. Then an electrical component can be positioned between the planar surfaces, and the leads placed in the apertures. Thereafter if the leads are bent against the marginal edges of the apertures the lead spacing will be sized in accord with the distance between the locator tips.
