I have a 9” reversible plies made by Milbar, I use it all the time. However sometime space is very limited and a pair of smaller ones would work much better. So I ordered the 6”, reversible with rubber retainer for clippings. Love the size. But I used it a few time and the grip of the jaws is not as good. For some reason one wire always slips out when I twist it. So I have to be careful while using it. Don’t have that issue with my 9”. Otherwise I love the functionality and size. I am not sure if there is a way to adjust how much the jaws can clamp.

I bought these to replace the 15yo pair that finally packed it in. They fit perfectly in my tool control foam. They’re great twisters. They’ll twist .032”all day/night long. They’ll work harder to twist .041” So if you use a lot of heavier gauge lockwire, you may want to opt for the 9” twisters. I did notice that my pair will not cut wire when it’s placed all the way in to the pivot. Instead, they just make a pinch mark on the wire. Other than that, they’re an excellent tool for an aircraft mechanic. Would recommend!

After a day of light and proper use the pliers would not lock in to place when clamping wire. I have since sent it back and am currently waiting for either repair or replacement. I hope I will not be refunded as these pliers are hard to come by lately.
