gadget Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I recently purchased some SS 420 wire so I could build some TC coils.Being new to this I had no idea what I was buying, all I have bought before was fused Clapton wire.To the internet I went!I tried using a drill to twist some wire, total disaster! I'm sure if I tried again I could do it but it got me thinking.Back in the day when I was racing Motorcycles (Desert) I used to safety were my spokes and had a really cool set of wire twisting plyers...I went to my tool box and there they were!The coil pictured is 3 strands of wire twisted and wrapped 8/7 at 3.5 ID dual coils at 1.7 OHM.

cany Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Never tried them for vaping wire but they do an awesome job with bailing/mechanics wire Edited August 8, 2017 by cany Walt and gadget 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitardoc64 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I have a pair of them from when I worked for Boeing. I haven't used them for vaping wire, but they did the trick for safety wire on electrical connector backshells. gadget 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
