safety wire twist tools Gonna wrap my headers and saw a cool tool inexpensive tool that I could use to wire tie the wrap in place vs using annoying ss zip ties..
Only problem is I can't find the tool now. I can go back to pliers but if there are some other suggestions on some decent tools I'd like to hear them..

My brother picked one up from the inventor of that back at SEMA a few years back. He uses it at the hotrod shop all the time.

Update
clamp tite tool is cool! Used it to wire tie my header wrap. Takes a little getting used to but very secure. Not as fast as wire plyers but a much tighter tie.
I did use my wire plyers too in a few spots as well since the clamp tite needs a little room to work right.

Glad it worked out for you!

we also do not use safety wire anymore. we now use safety cable... much faster and easier...
If your asking.... I build new (green build) Jet engines for a living....

i got one of those clamp tite things about 10 years ago at pri and its nice but its too much of a hassle to use for me. i went back to safety wire pliers which suck only a little bit less.

Agreed Panduit S/S straps would be the best for that application. Can be bought around $2.00 each
Not allowed to use safety cable ties internally on jet engines.
