I can't answer your question Tom because I've never bothered with one. =
I'm
answering because a bender sounds like massive "overkill".=20

The boards in the K2 are set up so that if you simply bend the leads =
down
with your fingers, they naturally bend exactly right to drop in the =
holes.=20

I'd like to buy a lead bending gauge to help build my K2, but they come =
in a
lot of sizes & I'm not sure of the nomenclature.  Can anyone tell me if =
I
should go for 1/4 watt, 1/2 watt, some specific lead diameter?  Will one
suffice or will I need more than one size?
