[sdiy] TOTM (Tool of the Month):)

[John Blacet]

IC pin straightener.

"What! I don't need this, I'm careful and don't bend my pins!"

Well, you need to bend them to get them into the PCB or socket, and they
normally come splayed out.

This little gizmo works like a charm; wish I'd had it 500 modules ago!

Jameco (.com) PN 99362CP, $7.35. Conductive plastic, of course.
