Making Right Angles in Wire

by Karen Meador, Ph.D.

I often want to make a right angle in wire for something I'm designing. Here's a tool to do that for you.

Instructions

The easiest way I've found to make perfect right angles consistently is to use my 3-Step Square Pliers.

These also allow me to make two right angles at a time if desired and are graduated so I can make different sizes.

Most of my other pliers are round, therefore, the use of this square pair has given me many new ideas. Give it a try and see what you can design.
