Safety wire pliers

Post by Ported&Polished »

I never heard of these let alone had them, so I went and purchased a pair. I didn't know how the worked or anything about them, but now that I do, I love them. I used them on a couple different bikes for the grips, very cool. You just wrap the wire around the grips, grip the two wire ends, then pull the twisting apparatus on the end of the pliers. In a second the wire is neatly and tightly twisted around, then you cut the excess wire off, tuck the twisted end, done. Got mine from Rockymountainatv.com and they came with 100 feet of wire, which is enough to do 1000 grips. :D

Use the same ones...they're awesome! And that spool of wire lasts forever!
The CR500 is an acquired taste. If you don't like it, acquire some taste...

I just use needle nose pliers and 22 gauge wire I buy cheap from Hobby Lobby. Plus I found that copper gasket spray makes for an excellent grip glue. :wink:

I pour rubbing alcohol into the grips, let them dry alittle, then slip them on. Now I safety wire them, and viola, on like donkey kong.
