I prefer a smaller size plyer for safety wiring. The 6" SK 7726 Automatic Return, Reversible Wire Twister w/ Tigerwave Cushion Throat is my favorite.

Wire
Safety wire is available in many sizes and matirials depending on application.
Most motorsport applications use stainless steel wire, 0.031" diameter. Sometimes smaller wire will be used, sometimes larger, but 0.031" is average.
