Dear god shoot me now.

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)

No worries.

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

Are you getting the Milbar auto return safety wire pliers? Man,those bitches used to be about $100 bucks! If you asked a guy to borrow them,he'd make you leave a kidney and your helmet as collateral!

I've used both. The .025 is a little easier to work with but I trust the .032 more. Probably just in my head. I keep both in the tool box.

Yeah those are the ones I want... you can get them for like 65 if you poke around a bit. Also I think some of them have a clutch so you don't need to worry about untwisting the wire on the auto-return and thus hold the pliers

I hear ya. The wire IS stainless steel so I doubt that 7 thousandths less means it's not going to stop things from working themselves unscrewed...
