What you need: Round nosed pliers and a supply of wire. I have pre-cut 22 gage, copper wire into 1 inch lengths. Grab near the end of the wire with the tip of the pliers. Roll the wire around the tip, until it forms a loop. Turn the pliers around, so that they are positioned opposite of the end of the loop. Bend…
