that's pretty good - you don't want the space too tight between the clevis and the eyelet you want the blade to spin smoothly. I don't use the crane swivels on mine and use a small cross lock snap for ease in changing baits, don't have to retie as often.

Here are a few of the ones I have made. Took a few tries to get the hang of it. I have everything adjusted now to keep them as compact as possible without modifying anything. The distance from the outside of the loop to the clevis (or anything else you may want on the wire) is 1/2". The loop and one full wrap around the standing wire is 5/16". The space needed of the tool to function without collapsing the clevis is then 3/16" for a total of 1/2". Here also is a spring form that I threw together. It could be made better but this was just a quickie for show and tell. I believe a haywire type twist is also doable with this tool which would put the two arms of the spring type spinner coming off at equal angles if that makes sense?

Thank you Skip. They are nice but I don't think Mrs. Bobo thinks I have been that good this year, for me to get one for Christmas. LOL

It's a nice tool but it can't do all the bends I use and I can buy a lot of components for the cost of it and the smaller eyelet piece. Not if anyone just wants to send me one I wouldn't turn it down!!!LOL
Bo - with all the packages you send out and get in I doubt she'd notice it!!! (Yeah Right!!!!! LMAO)
When we picked up the grand daughter last summer I stopped by Orvis and my wife was getting a suitcase for my sister in law to use and the bag of stuff I'd bought was still inside of it!!!!!! Thought I'd put it away!!!LOL Talk about CRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have worked with the hand former and a pair of pointed pliers for a few years. Just placed an order for the twistech tool late night. Think with it and the other tools I will be able to make anything I need or want to make.
