You have no room to talk, Juan. You started this thread with a racial
insult.- "Tools built by people of Chinese extraction are poorly build".

Wrong, bucko. I said I've had it with Chinese tools, not tools made by
Chinese. I'm sure even you can tell the difference. Or maybe not.

Do try to get your reading skills up to snuff.

Try Stahlwille, god German high quality tools.

God German, huh?


I went and looked at their safety wire twisters at their website.
Gosh, I would have bought them instead of the Snap-Ons if I had known.
Thanks for the tip.

Did you find prices? I went to that web site and there's no prices that I
can see.

I can't find them now, but did find a TN company, Samstag, where you
can special order them at roughly the same price:

$121 for a small pair of safety wire pliers. Not...

That's about what the USMC was paying for them, even back in your
heyday. Not so bad when you figure Halliburton bills the taxpayers $45
for a six-pack of Cokes.
I've used Milbars. They're xlnt.

Don't leave nice ones lying around in the hangar, though.

to work as they should.

I need a set of QUALITY safety wire pliers (like the great ones we used to
use in the Marines in the late 70's and 80's, damn things always worked
perfectly), snips, needle nose pliers, wire cutters, etc. I'm not looking
for fancy displays at airshows or chrome plated crap or paying money for
brand names, I want reliable tools that I can rely on when I need them to do
their jobs.

Comments? Suggestions?

To me it seems that safety wire twisters are a specialty tool that you
won't ever find on sale. If I wanted a quality pair I'd just suck it
up and buy them. I hate spending the money but I've never regretted
buying quality tools. My twisters are from the fly-market at OSH I
think I paid about $15 for them but I only use them half a dozen times
a year I've had them over 10 years and they've worked well for me. If
your jaws aren't closing tightly enough you could grind down the wire
cutters with a dremel tool.

Ever notice how many tools admit they are fake? Look for the word
"forged."

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.

I've never heard of Pittsburgh tools.

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

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

I have had extremely poor experiences with Harbour Freight's parts,
technical and customer support. On rare occasions I buy things from them
even they can't screw up if the price is right. My lathe and vertical
mill are on their carts.
