    I want to use the small diameter music wire for my masts but havent found a good tool for it online.

    Anyone have any suggestions? I have seen the K&S bender but its for 1/8 and up.

    Thanks

    that seems awful thin, can you do it by hand?

    What part of your masts are you going to use it for?

    Sorry, not for the masts but the rigging attached to the mast. I have tried to bend it by hand it seems impossible.
