Hi all, bought some twisting pliers off cooksons, and got no idea how to use them, the little picture on the box is about as useful as instructions in Japanese! Any help please?

twisting pliers? oh sorry never seen these do beg ya pardon, i copied this from there discription

These twisting pliers will create tight, consistent
twisted wire lengths. A simple one-pull action and
automatic return, twists wire quickly into a strand
that will not unravel. The cutting blade in the centre
will cut soft wire easily.
The pliers are best used with one end of the wire
being twisted held in a vice, which will help keep
wire taught & the other end in the jaw of the plier.
Pull on the centre pistion for twisting action.
The pliers will hold up to 1mm thickness.

Twisted wire also looks good gently flattened in a rolling mill.To straighten it anneal, put one end in a vise and pull steadily with serrated pliers.
