 BTW... you WILL stab your hand with safety wire at one point or another or a dozen. It doesn't feel nice.

Also, I've been using the 32 thousands stuff but some people say the 25 or 20 thousandths stuff is easier to work with. Any truth to that?
I was going to pick up a pound spool of the 25 and get some of the REAL pliers (i.e. the aviation industry ones, I think the company is Milbar)

Also the 32 is supposedly more likely to snap from overtwist, or when you turn the final end twist back on itself to hide the sharp point. Figure I might as well give the 25 a shot

I have a 30 year old pair of safety wire pliers that my father used when he was a jet mechanic - best damn tool.
