Great idea John.

I can usually use salvaged resistors as is for breadboards, but there area always that batch where one lead is too long and one lead is too short.

You solution deals with both.

Thanks.

Nice idea.

I do agree with [mention:acaf6a9338de4eef8f6717d5561ed01d:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] about the reside.

I always clean it off, since many of mine have been laying around for some time.

It has been noted that resistors prepared this way are much more stable and make better contact than raw resistors that are just looped from one point to another.

That's often because there's glue residue on the ends of the leads from packaging, and oxidation.

Your brand new clean wires will make a nice difference for the lower resistor values [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-5923e08c-2812-42d0-9307-04769f911e4f/contentimage_5F00_11380.png:16:16]
