alternatives to wire keeper

[cootpatrol]

I was wondering if anyone has found a cheaper way to make or get wire keepers for jigs?

You can make a jig to bend the wire then cut , buy wire from janns that what I did , hope this helps

eBay has them pretty cheap. I want to say like half as much as do-it's. $50 for 1,000. This is what I use.

I make my own out of .020 stainless wire. I use to get them from here. Captain Hook's Discount Warehouse

If u know someone that does mig welding they might give u enough to make them. or u can buy small rolls at Harbor Freight they make it in steel and aluminum just don't get the flux core. Also there is stainless u may have to get it at a welding supply. u can get it in 0.24 0.30 0.35 wire for migs. Auto body shops use the 0.25 steel i am sure they would give u a couple feet to try with to see if u like it. Cub48

We use staples from wal-mart.Find the right size.Fits and works great.We have had some break but usually holds the plastic which is what you are trying to achieve.
