here's a little tool I drew up to bend up the tabs on some key holders.
this one is made for 16 ga
works really well

That makes more sense. Good idea too!

I'd probably make this from 11 ga. steel. My thought is that 16 ga. might be too flimsy.

Just a guess here, but I’m assuming the OP meant it’s made to “bend” 16 ga steel, and not made “from” 16 ga.

Scratch - I think you're right! I misread it. He said "for 16 ga", and not "from 16 ga." Thanks for pointing that out.

I think adbuch is right in thinking to make the tool a little stronger, I made one for 16 ga and 14 ga.
