Proto J196 Safety Wire Twister Reversible Pliers - 8-3/4" Aviation & Motorcycle Maintenance Tool for Secure Fastening in Tight Spaces

I got the cheap $20 set off amazon initially... I found them difficult to clam and they are horrible to cut with. Having used someone elses prior to buying the cheap set I knew there was something better out there...I grabbed these knowing it was risk free through Amazon, if I didn't like them I could return them. They are my primary wiring tool and they leave very little to desire. They are easy to clamp, the return mechanism is awesome since you don't have to let go of anything, the ability to reverse the twist is simple, and they cut great 99% of the time. The only place I see room for improvement is if you put the wire all the way down in the throat of the cutters they miss the cut sometimes.If you're using safetywire pliers all the time or are just a fan of high quality tools, I would certainly encourage you to get these
