I just got a harbor freight catalog. On page 35 is a 9" Safety Wire
Twister for $15.99 It's made by 'Pittsburgh', and claims to have a
lifetime warranty. part number 45341-0CHA.

It also shows up on their website, as does a 6" pair for $9.99.


With a price like that, they will be made in Pittsburgh, China.

Quality costs. Harbor freight is not expensive. Anyone get the
connection? g


I get the connection. A lot depends on how they handle their 'lifetime
warranty'. If you end up paying freight each time you return them, it's not
worth anything.

If, on the other hand, they don't charge for shipping warranty items, you
could always buy two, and use the second while the first one is being
replaced.

They have some retail stores too. (none near me, and none in PR)
