@MetalGrannie It is recommended that you do not go too much longer than what is shown in the video. The reason is that the torque will vary more the longer the wire is, with the part closest to the tool having a tighter twist to it than the part furthest from the tool. This length (and shorter) ensures that the twist will remain uniform.
We called those lockwire pliers in the military. You would wire two adjacent hex head bolts together that had small holes drilled through the bolt heads. The wire would be threaded through both bolts and twisted together in an arty fashion to keep bolts from unscrewing themselves under heavy vibrations. It was an art in itself.
Thank you :) this video taught me well

Hello. Is that the only length you can make? What if you want longer?

Thanks for the video... the instructions with the wire pliers I got were confusing to say the least.
