Wire twisting tool

[gadget]

I recently purchased some SS 420 wire so I could build some TC coils.
Being new to this I had no idea what I was buying, all I have bought before was fused Clapton wire.
To the internet I went!
I tried using a drill to twist some wire, total disaster! I'm sure if I tried again I could do it but it got me thinking.
Back in the day when I was racing Motorcycles (Desert) I used to safety were my spokes and had a really cool set of wire twisting plyers...
I went to my tool box and there they were!
The coil pictured is 3 strands of wire twisted and wrapped 8/7 at 3.5 ID dual coils at 1.7 OHM.

Never tried them for vaping wire but they do an awesome job  with bailing/mechanics wire

I have a pair of them from when I worked for Boeing. I haven't used them for vaping wire, but they did the trick for safety wire on electrical connector backshells.
