COLIBROX Deluxe Thing-a-ma-Jig Wire Bending Jig Aluminum Base

Not able to use for intended purpose

I have not yet decided if I can use this, but it is disappointing in several ways. The pegs do not fit snuggly. There are rubber backing pieces provided, but they do not hold the pegs tightly either. I will try to figure out a way to solve these issues, so it is useable. Good idea, but very poor design and manufacturing. Might end up being more trouble than bending my designs by hand.

I make wire dragonfly sun catchers. I ordered this jig in hopes it would aid me with making the wings. The first and larger pin was ok but the smaller ones did not fit into the jig properly and the wire wrapped around the part that goes into the jig base. I tried different positions with the same results. I returned the item. I had to print a label and put it in my mailbox, which was convenient

Works well, delivered quickly.

I tried a plastic jig but this is so much sturdier! You can really put some pressure on the pegs and get nice tight designs.

Mine arrived with one of four legs broken off and the metal plate bent. Also, the pegs fit so loosely in the holes that getting repeatable results would be pretty much impossible. Should have a wider selection of peg sizes. Sending it back.

I had an old version in plastic but that only worked for very thin wire. This one in metal is sturdier and can handle the 16 gauge wire easily. Liked the little locking pieces too. Although, I wish they were metal or harder plastic. I think they may stretch with wear and not lock anymore but I think there are replacements you can get.Over all, very pleased and recommend.
