I've been making my own for years out of (probably oversized) wire. I finally got around to making a jig out of scrap styrene, but some needlenose pliers worked just fine. They're a very thin pipe on the prototype, so .010" is probably a good start.

Atlas makes these, so you might be able to order them direct. If it were me I'd make a bending tool from scrap plastic and make my own. Use 0.012" wire. Here are some examples of the tools I've made: www.pbase.com/mecrharris/wire_bending |

Kinda under a challenge deadline.
Thanks for the options will be bending my own but this time they'll be from Atlas to help me get challenge ready.
