Tavia makes some nice reasonably priced equipment. I've got their leakdown tester.

in my experience saftey wire jigs suck ass. i use a vise and drill, no jig and have no problems. i'd also recommend buying one size up from the 1/16'' bit, it'll break a lot less frequently.

just my $0.02.

I've always used two nuts and a vise in either a drill press or mill. +1 for going up one size in the drill - not only do you break less of them, but it is easier to feed the safety wire through - get a couple of them, buy the carbide ones, use cutting oil, and check the spindle speed. Good luck...

+1 to the mill or drill press idea.

Mill is obviously slightly easier. Drill presses can be picked up on the cheap. I have yet to break a bit drilling bolts for safety wire.

Even I did it with just a good ol' bench vise and a drill!!

And then the aviation plyers....I safety wired everything I got my hands on in the garage!! I love those things.

Get some aluminium and bend it around the steel teeth on a bench vise. Clamp the threads in the vise with the head sticking up, drill away.

Don't bother with those super space age metal drill bits. Get the cheapest ones you can find of good ole steel. Buy no less than 5 and have at it.

Good luck.
