nedyarb Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I stopped by Harbor Freight yesteday and bought some safety wire pliers. They went back to Harbor Freight after work. They did nothing that a pair of vise grips won't do. I am sure they work well for bigger jobs, but for tying jigs it was overkill and they were difficult to use.

mark poulson Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Rob, I am intrigued with the pliers. Even if regular vice grips will do the same thing (that's what I use right now) I still want a pair! Sick, I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sick, I know. Mark I find them to be a lot easier .. Once you get the hang of it and a lot neater twist and you can cut the Tag Shorter..

I am anxious to actually give them a try. I leave longer tags because I'm clumsey, and need them to be able to wrap the wire. Hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crymdawg Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Any idea what the heaviest wire the Safety Pliers will handle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Google safety pliers, go to one of the sites that sells them, and check it out. I doubt they would twist big wire, because it's just too strong. I get the impression they are designed for use with softer wire that can be easily bent.
