These twisting pliers will create tight, consistent twisted wire lengths. A simple one-pull action and automatic return, twists wire quickly into a strand that will not unravel. The cutting blade in the centre will cut soft wire easily. The pliers are best used with one end of the wire being twisted held in a vice, which will help keep wire taught & the other end in the jaw of the plier. Pull on the centre pistion for twisting action. The pliers will hold up to 1mm thickness.
