Lead Crimping Hand Tool (Z-Bend or Stand-off Kink)

Summary
This lead forming tool is intended for the forming of C-shaped kinked leads, which set a stand-off height for insertion into through holes on PCBs.
Such leads provide a bit of strain relief against vibration/thermal expansion and help maintain the lead spacing for auto-insertion.

Images supplied show the dimensions of the BLUE version, the RED version simply has the female & male tooling mating areas reversed.
