wire bendin help?

i need some tips to get the wire perfect, and consistant on every plug.

i usally put a downward bend, then wrap arround a screwdriver to make the circle. then i make a somewhat feeble attempt at a barrell wrap while holding the tag end in vise grips, with the circle end in the vise.
usually gets smooshed into submission by pliers in the end.
looks like crap, comes out crooked, and ugly. and the plug is ruined!
any tips would be greatly appreciated.
mike
