I just got a harbor freight catalog. On page 35 is a 9" Safety Wire
Twister for $15.99 It's made by 'Pittsburgh', and claims to have a
lifetime warranty. part number 45341-0CHA.

It also shows up on their website, as does a 6" pair for $9.99.

With a price like that, they will be made in Pittsburgh, China.

Quality costs. Harbor freight is not expensive. Anyone get the
connection? g

Yes, quality costs, but subsidized company activities that have nothing to
do with making tools cost even more. It's kinda like pharmaceuticals. You're
not just paying for the medicine, you're paying for things like vacations
for the doctors who prescribe the most, etc.
