Best safety wire video ive seen so far

Nice video. Safety wiring is an art that we are all always improving on.

This brought back lots of memories... i approve this video, being an ex jet engine mechanic...

At 5:28 when you make your pigtail couldn’t some one cut themselves still since it’s not tucked. Maybe the angle of the video makes it seem like that but I feel like we would get yelled at for that. Great video though I appreciate you posting this valuable info.😎

Accidentally poking your hand with the wire is always fun. 😆

Please explain more the indication of the direction of twist.

Hey there, not trying to be a hater, but feel the need to point out what's right. Based on what I was taught in A&P school and per the FAR AC;3.13-1B, the nicks in the wire from the pliers are a no go. Probably more concerning is the "around the world twists" Those are over working the wire making to brittle. It doesn't mention that term anywhere in the FAA rules, but it speaks to the number of twists (6-8 as you stated) and specifically "Safety wire must never be overstressed. Safety wire will break under vibrations if twisted too tightly". Making those around the world twists are doing just that and it will break with a lot of vibration. Same with he pigtail, still need to be 6-8 twists. Its super difficult to get it neat and accurate, but what was displayed would hav been cut by an IA, or instructor.

To be honest, as an inspector, you should be checking fastener tensions too. That's just my opinion. But on a side note your video is very informative. I find my twists coming to the hole a little short or a little too long

Is there going to be a part 2, and will you continue to make videos?

[MajinGouken]

On the second pattern wouldn’t it be better to run the wire coming out of the second bolt, under the twist?? 180 under the twist.

Who do I contact about using a part of this video for skill level upgrade training for maintenance personnel in the United States Air Force?

[Kiddsworld]

Why are none of your twist 6-8 threads per inch? Just doing it for quickness?

[nemesisbreakz]

Does the twists per inch on the pigtail matter?

[mohammedkhaled]

There are some scenes covered by your arm where I wanted to see how you sent the wire

[bradgeorge]

My problem is the direction to send the wire on th second or third bolt, thanx for the video 🇺🇲✈

[MVP]

Did safety wire change. 10-12 turns per inch on runs. 6-8 on pig tails

If you are going to do instructional videos how about keeping your forearm from hiding all your work!
