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:

Perhaps I'm dense, but how do you find the prices, and then go about ordering
their tools? I didn't see how to do that, on their site.

Neither did I, and when I went to the US web site those tools are not
listed. ???

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.

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.
