    Default Twisting Pliers????

    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.

    Default Twisting Wire

    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.
