Memory error

[big10p]

No, not on a game, on me. Rummaging through my soldering supplies looking for a tip, I came across the thingy in the pic. Not only had I forgotten I'd bought it, I also coundn't remember what heck it's for! Stared at it for a bit, then had to resort to taking the pic and asking AI to identify it. Anyone else have crap memory like me? Extra points for identifying the object without cheating like me.

Is used for resistors, diodes and so on. It is to bend the legs with the right distance.

Correct! I could have done with this recently, but completely forgot I had it.

 

[Georgian2]

I use it almost daily. Can't bend any resistors without it. Looks so much better with.

How amazingly useful!

These days yep

Find things quite often I forgot I'd bought

Where do I get such a thing?

Just Google 'resistor lead bender' and it should find them.

I’m genuinely excited when a job calls for my auto wire strippers. There’s always an audible ‘ YES!’ when I remember I have them.

So many years faffing about. Probably at least one filling too.

Yep. Here's another which I actually remembered I had and use quite a lot.
