A while back Dave did a video where they discussed a crimping tool that put a "kink" in the lead to keep the component elevated off of the PCB.
I have done some searching but to no avail.
Does anyone have a brand or a link?
Thanks

Thanks, "lead former" was the search I needed.
Those Italian ones look nice. Anyone know a US supplier?
I was thinking of this one

Anyone have one?
Thanks

See the thread here, and my comments in particular:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/manufacturing-assembly/ramping-up-through-hole-board-production/15/
I've posted links to those Piergiacomi tools and the thread may give you other suggestions.
ps. there are some pliers from them that trim the lead on the other side, bending it at the same time. Besides pliers that bend the leads in different shapes. Check the links.

Well I went ahead and ordered the Xuron 573L.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000IBQEZQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Looks like all I need.
Amazon also has a great deal today on A Wiha micro bit driver, (made in Germany), for $21.77. Free shipping over $25.
