Good safety wire pliers

[Patsdeere]

Who makes or where can I get some good safety wire pliers? The cheap ones from harbor freight are cheap. Have some safety wire from an aircraft place and the little clip (that slides up and down under the little cover) that holds the handles together got bent so handles don't stay together. I want abusing it, just had the two ends of wire I was trying to tie. Yes they were side by side, not in top of each other.

Milbar is the best.

Assuming you don't really want to spend a C-note for a tool you'll seldom use, most aircraft tool supply houses have decent safety wire pliers for around twenty bucks.

Those look a lot like the ones we used in the Navy to twist tie wires when we were lagging steam pipes. Those things took a beating and keep on working.

Check Images of snap on safety lock pliers on the net:
I owned, and used several different handle length snap on safety lock pliers:
Also, the DIAM. of the SAFETY WIRE, can add to determining the size of your safety lock pliers:

I think Robinson's are the best.

Grizzly has them for around $20. I bought mine at Northern Tool several years ago...can't remenber the price but it was reasonable. Used them a lot when we were kart racing.
