Thanks in advance.

| Make an adjustable jig. You can get ideas from guitar builders that use them for fret work when making guitars. YouTube it. |

Location: Poynette WI. | I usually pick up pre cut pieces up to 15". Not sure how tight the wire is coiled up, but i havent had a problem straighting the wire by hand. I also did a quick search just to see if there were other options and found some others suggesting this: Wire Straightener - Have a bent leader? Straighten it in seconds with Du-Bro's Wire Straightener. Simply clamp the straightener onto your wire leader and pull. Your leader will come out straight and ready to use again. Can also be used on multi-strand cable. Available in two sizes to fit wire sizes #5 through #20.
