Nice.  Simple, cheap, and effective.

I've straightened wire before by chucking one end in a vise, the other in a power drill, leaning back, and spinning away.  But that stress-hardens it a bit and can change its gauge.  This looks like it will leave the wire in much better condition.

But I'll still make twisted pair with the drill and vise.  B-)
