    Safety Wire Pliers

    Does anyone know where I can buy a pair of Safety wire twisters locally? I know Harbor Freight sells them, but I was hoping to pick up a "better" pair for the tool box....any local leads would be nice. Thanks in advance

    The Harbor freight work fine and they are cheap. Buy 4 for the price of the milspec ones.

    Ray. Pick up the phone and call Miles and just make sure they bring a pair to the track for you.

    Re: Safety Wire Pliers

    I bought mine at S&C a few years ago, at the time they had two options, a nice made USA pair and a low cost import.
