I've got a pair just like that from when I work ar Sikorsky Aircraft, except the inspectors there never like the twists that it put on the wire. They said that it was too tight, so we had to do the twist by hand.

Hmmmmm...and how did you manage to acquire these from Sikorsky? Being the skin flints that we are, UTC doesn't typically donate tools to employees...baaahhh

Well lets see, they gave us prior notification that about 67 people in my dept were to be let go. So I started taking my extra tools home and thanks to the big S I've have all the airtools I'll ever need. Besides I did them a big favor when I did a road trip out to a few Marines Helicopter bases in CA to fix a defect. I figure my time away from wife and kids for 3 months was worth something.

How long ago were you at Sikorsky? Nancy Davis moved from Pratt to Sikorsky last fall to take the CIO position. Now, she was a real peach to work with...

I was with them from 80 to 95 worked on all of their aircraft (even the Presidental ). I left just as they were developing the concept blade which was made of carbon graphite. Eugene Buckley was the CIO during that time frame. Still have quite a few friends working there. Hey Jay I might be able to get ya a pair of them safety wire pliers. I still have my connections . I'll see what I can do.
