You should also alternate the direction of your twists, so the first lock would be a right hand twist, the second lock should be a left hand twist, etc...

I don't think it was mentioned, but you're not supposed to untwist the wire if you go too far, this work hardens the wire...you're supposed to start all over. Also, the pigtail, when you loop it, should not touch the bolt because it may scratch the corrosion resistant coating and cause the wire and or bolt to corrode. The correct turns ration is 6-8 turns per inch for .032 wire, less for .040, a little more for .025 and .020. The size is determined by the hole in the bolt, taking up 75% of hole

Nice.
Was that an instruction to all of us, or a reminder to yourself ?

How probable is it to have the need to lockwire something but have no pliers at hand? :D

@Morkvonork Anything is possible. The most common thing I hear is that the pliers are so expensive. I'm trying to show that you don't need expensive tools, and then I just went that next step further. I couldn't resist.

@Morkvonork You do pull with about 20 lbs force, so that's why the vise is used here. Lockwiring small things is complicated by the need to pull on the wire.
