Safety
Wire and Safety Wire Pliers - $2.50, $25.99, $25.99
I've safety
wired just about everything at one time or another - from banjo bolts
to sprocket nuts, to oil filters and fill plugs, etc. Safety wire offers
peace of mind that the fastener won't fall out. There are techniques for
safety wiring, and it all begins with the right wire and the right safety
wire pliers. I use .041" (1.06mm) thick safety wire. The wire is
thick enough to be strong, yet thin enough to bend around any fastener.
Instead of just offering a roll of wire, I also have the option to purchase
the wire in 10 ft lengths. It takes about a foot of wire to wire the standard
fastener. Don't ask me how many feet come in the roll, because it only
gives the weight of 1 pound (.45 KG). The pliers are a once in a lifetime
purchase. They're constructed of steel, with a spring-loaded grip. Included
is the article I wrote for MCN on how to safety wire.
