Where can I get Wire Twisting Pliers? Am having trouble trying to locate a set over here and my only other option seems to be to ship some over from the UK.

It depends on where here is, and much do You want to spend.

Toronto or Edmonton.

 

I gues about $60/$70

 

Also, where can I buy Bahco tools in those areas? Swore by them back home and now need to buy more

This a US site in the right price range

I'm not that bothered with snap on. I've got a ratchet driver of theirs which is good.

 

They bought a Swedish Company called Bahco a few years ago which I've used since I was an apprentice. Quality is just as good but you don't pay the price.

 

They have the pliers in their UK calatogue but the North American one doesn't show them Just made me wonder if there was another method to doing Lock Wire in North America. Excuse my ignorance

 

Cheers guys.

I recently retired from Air Canada and have decided not to work any more. I have a pair of the larger twisters in very good condition (as I was a lead they didn’t get used much) you can have them for $25. I live in YEG so if you like I’ll meet you for coffee with the wire twisters.

Cheers or the offer. Not out there till the 24th but if you still have them by then, then I might take you up on the offer.

I don't buy a lot of stuff from snapon because it is to expensive however i would recommend their twisters as i am on my 3rd pair in 15 years and it has only cost me the original $110. replaced twice on warranty.
