Do any of you currently have and use the tool called The Bug? It's a Hold&Fold tool made by The Small Shop EU. I think it's fairly new. It's about 2x2 inches and has a bunch of different folding edges on it. It looks like it'd be a great tool for handling photo-etched parts. Also, I'm in the U.S. Is there anywhere I can get one of these here?

Here's a link to the website where you can see it:

Review is shortly to be posted on the PMMS web site

One of the guys in our local club has the predecessor to that.

Same thing, is only about 2" by 2", but only had one tine on each side of it, as opposed to the multiple tines on that one.

Think he paid something like $30 CDN for it at the time, has had it for a couple of years, don't know if it is from the same company or not.


Personally I would like to try out the one from the US called Mr. Fold It, made out of really hard PVC plastic, for a fraction of the cost of the other PE Benders, its less than $20US.

Hello ArmorGuy,

I got a BUG from MMP (http://www.ww2modelmaker.com/holdfold.htm) in the U.S. a month ago. It is a very nicely machined product and delivery was pretty fast. I recommend trying them out.

Cheers,

Richard
