I've checked amazon.com, and it looks like you can spend anywhere from $10 to $150 on a set of safety wire pliers.
Does anybody have a suggestion for a set of pliers that aren't that expensive but wouldn't fall apart in 1 use?
I'm not a racer, so I won't be using them all the time under high-pressure situations. I just do some track days - I've borrowed some safety wires for some track-side fairing repairs, etc and to keep a go-pro from potentially going missing, but now I have a more important reason to get familiarized with safety wire. The motard I just bought is all safety wired up, so I figure I should have the tools to put the wire back on if I need to work on something.
Some follow-up questions -
What size pliers - or do I need more than one size?
What size wire do most people use (I have a spool of 0.032", I'm hoping that will work but I can buy more if this isn't a good size)?
From the intro to roadracing book they give you at Penguin, I know to be 100% in-spec you're supposed to make some twists to the left, some to the right. Is this important, or can you get by just twisting one way? If it's important - Is it better to get reversible pliers? Could be wrong, but looks like it might be cheaper to get 2 different pliers that twist different ways?
