9 Inch Safety Wire Cutting Pliers Wire Twisting Twister Tool with 50 Feet of Wire Lock Wire Plier Tool Kit

Great tool to have if you have an airplane that requires safety wire to be installed

Damn thing broke first time I used it on a pair of rotors. It's junk!

used these all the time in the Air Force on F16's, so wanted to use on different areas on my race car. These have serrated jaws! Better for holding wire, HOWEVER this is a no no on planes as the serrated jaws bite into the wire weakening it in these areas. So these can be used, just not in long runs where you'll end up biting the wire. Short runs you can twist wire past the needed portion and cutting off the serrated damaged portion. Should be smooth jaw as they would hold wire just as well without damage.

Nothing but good things to say about this product.Came as expected.Exceeded my expectations.Love it.Will purchase again if needed.

Not bad for a $20 set of safety wire pliers. If you need a set for occasional home mechanic use then these would suffice for that type of use.Use Notes:• If you lube the helix, lock slider as well as the pivot joint and "work" them for about 5 min they will loosen up and operate a lot smoother.• The jaws do grab the wire and I haven't had any slippages.• The biggest short coming off is the inability to cut the wire with the clipper in the jaws - they simply dont close down far enough to cut the wire. As a work about I just use another set of cutters to cut and trim the wire after twisted.

Have only used them once since receiving but they feel like they are good quality and worked exactly as they were supposed to. So far very happy with the purchase!

Broke the very first pull. The know was not secured well.

I have been using lockwire pliers versus a Navy machinist mate for almost 50 years. These are a photograph of lockwire pliers. They just don't feel the same they don't act the same reaction is not smooth. When you're using lockwire pliers you got to have a smooth action when you pull and you make the twist they don't retract back to neutral very well. It maybe there was a lot of use he'll get better I had ordered this pair because another pair I bought from Amazon turned out to be good even though cheaper than a lockwire pliers of the Navy. If you're going to do a lot of lock wire these would drive you crazy and you probably end up using them as a hammer. But I adapt. I think the manufacturing process in the materials used have been cheapened to bring the price down and I would have rather paid 5 or $10 more or more for a good operational pair. After all if it slows you down for hours I could have bought a case of them. I don't have time to do other than this to follow it down but these people in China need to get their act together. After all lock wire is a safety device that needs to be done in a correct Manner and it's not a toy. Got any idea how much lock wires in a submarine? I do. These people should hire me as a design consultant to authenticate their quality. Pardon me but tools are life and death in some people just don't get that they think they're fishing weights.
