Small-shop question here. Is there a convenient tool for making the bend shown below, other than a pair of pliers that happens to be just the right size, and is it worth it for qty low 100's?

Not a huge deal, it is an in-house operation so that the offset dimension vs the parallel pcb surface comes out correctly in the assembly. (The transistors are doing double-duty as heaters to prevent a solvent condensation issue, so it's a slightly goofy assembly).
