This little piece of notched plastic is a Resistor Lead Bending Tool. Sometimes referred to as a "forming" tool, this little guy provides you with an easy and reliable way to get the exact distance between two resistor leads that you need to PTH soldering. The Resistor Lead Bending Tool is two-sided, with one side offering 0.4"-1.5" spacing for 1/4 Watt resistors and the other side offering 0.5"-1.5" spacing for 1/2 Watt resistors. We here at SparkFun use a lot of 1/4 Watt resistors in out PTH...
