    Yep - Milbar's are what I have also. You scoff at the price until you have a pair and then you're like, "why didn't I get these before?"

    Once again, you do not need a jig, drill press, or safety wire pliers. just a electric drill or dremel and about 6 or the 3/32" drill bits. and some safety wire. You can twist the wire by hand and you can drill EVERY BOLT ON THE BIKE with out taking anything off or using a drill press.

    the HF pliers are $10 or so. Well worth it compared to twisting by hand. You can debate if you need expensive tools for that but if you do it frequently a well working tool is priceless. That goes for any job not just safety wire ring!

    I couldn't agree more. Buy some cheap pliers, only a fool would save $10-15 and twist the wire by hand.

    Agreed. You'd spend that much money in band-aids from plucking your fingers and gushing blood everywhere. :D
