You want your Tube Amp repair to work, and straightening pins on 9-pin tubes is crucial to maintaining electrical contact in the sockets.
But wow, if you've ever straightened pins with needle-nose pliers, you know that an "oops!" moment with too much twisting-force can crack the glass base, scratch pins, or even make pins worse than when you started.
With our pin straightener tool, you simply insert and remove your tube several times into the tool to align the pins.
It fixes unequal and incorrect spacing, sets a 90° exit-angle from the glass base, clocks pins evenly around the circumference, and straightens bent pins.
FREE SHIPPING to any US address, or APO/FPO Military station.
This tool aligns the pins, spaces them correctly around the circumference, and brings them to vertical for 9-Pin sockets.
It will not correct kinks in pins that have already bent-over. You'll always need pliers for that.
Sized to fit tightly on NOS, USA, and other high-quality tube pins.
You mileage may vary on modern, super-cheap import tubes from China.
Works for me. My design, My Logo. I build tube amps and tube reverbs at www.AustinMics.com
The wide base makes it easy to pull-out the tube.
