Tool for making small scale tubes, curves and bends

The tool is called a "5 STEP WIRE BENDING MANDREL". I have one that was left over from my clock and watch restoring days. The steps on the one I have are 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm. The first step on the modern ones is 0.5mm vs 1mm. They cost more today than when I purchased mine, but if need something like this, it pays for itself in reducing frustration. They sell for about 15 USD. I checked and found several sources on Google. I added a photo here for those that have never run across one. I hope this helps at least one modeler.:)
