I've seen those around for years and never knew what they were for until now. Thanks for the education.

I believe they were designed to be used in the aviation industry. Some of the bolts have holes through their heads so you can stick wire through it and lock them in place. But people use them for everything, as they are handy! :D A picture on how that might be used is on this amazon page about half way down. amzn.to/3QMm9Qb

Retired Air Force AGE ranger here. I used to love using these. Very satisfying twisting safety wire.

They might be new at that store but as a retired aircraft mechanic I can tell you that I used that tool over 50 years ago. I've probably twisted miles of safety wire over the years including .020, .032 & .040 sizes. It was always used to lock down or secure hardware.

@1D10CRACY 2 года назад

It's always good to see an Aircraft Mechanic who knows his stuff! :D I had a set I bought from Harbor Freight about 10 years ago and lost track of them. Today while at the store I picked up some replacements. They are not a "new" tool, but a "useful" tool. :D

We used it at times in the drag racing world also. I bought mine around 1980. I'm almost positive I bought them off the Snap On truck. Possibly Mac or Matco.

@Marie579 2 года назад

Yep used them loads of times on aircraft bolt heads and have occasionally antilocked a few! However always picked up on indies……

Aircraft mechanic here AP/IA.. While the author says you can use any kind of wire, mild steel (like bailing wire) will not hold up very good at all. It's to soft. These are meant for stainless steel aviation grade.. Being good at using them correctly involves practice. Aviation grade work hardens with each twist or bend. Use caution working with the ends. They are like razor sharp and will stick you good on fingers or hands. Everybody that has been working with these will attest they've gotten a finger or hand stuck several times. .032 is likely the most used wire. 7 twists per inch is standard. I use the long ones and got them from Aircraft Spruce years ago. My short HF ones in the back of the drawer in toolbox and do come in handy in really tight places..

If you put that thing in my hand and gave me a million years, I still wouldn't have figured that out without seeing a demo.

I've had the same pair since 1995. I safety wire my oil drain bolts on the motorcycles I've owned over the years.

@brentleslie8156 Месяц назад

I’ve seen these things for years but had no idea how they worked.

@tammylynch1626 26 дней назад

that helped thank you

A stainless steel version of this may be used by oral surgeons when attaching arch bars to teeth, to immobilize a broken jaw.

@bobweiram6321 2 года назад

You can use it to make custom tube brushes.

@unknownrider3071 3 месяца назад

Safety wire and lock wire are two different things. Safety wire is to prevent accidental activation of a switch. It's thin enough that it can be broken in an emergency. Lock wire much thicker and is used to prevent a nut from coming loose.

@bradmaas6875 2 года назад

Mine broke first time I used them.

@ricardom1233 Месяц назад

Use them in the USAF everyday

@1962jamesgeorge 2 года назад

ITS cool...

@yanyansolidor1434 10 месяцев назад

Where I can buy this kind of wire twister?

@El_Camionero 3 месяца назад

Former A&P myself. The Harbor Freight version is beyond garbage. Broke immediately when 1st used.

@1D10CRACY 3 месяца назад

My guess is an A&P would never use this, being the harbor freight brand. It's more of a hobby tool, maybe even a back yard mechanic who runs the track on the weekends. I bought mine to secure lock wire fasteners on a hydraulic pump, it performed the job and made this video without breaking. But yeah, it's a 7 dollar tool! ;) You should have used your Milbars!
