    Know What's worse than Twisting Wire?

    ---- Twisting wire when your hands and fingers don't work the way they used to.

    Know what's worse than that??---- twisting 2 for every one you would dare use.

    I twisted enough #9 wire today to energize Richmond to DC. The only way I can type is with my pinkys

    wa, wa, wa, wa, wa.
    Whad ya'll do on this cold ass, windy day?

    Glenn the only thing comes to mind that is worse than twisting wire. Is not having it twisted when you need it twisted ....

    Cold windy days are good for cleaning out the garage while drinking cold beer. Don't even need to put it on ice.

    glenn, i have wimped out the last year and started using the dubro ez-twist tool. it is worth the money because your fingers don't get sore. it's a helluva lot chepaer also. about 15.00 for the tool.

    I know whats worse. Steping on one of the tag ends of the wire. The thing that will get you is when you arent the one twisting the wire. I woud have rather have someone cut my foot off with a rusty coping saw.

    Yea, I have the twisty tool. I use it for the leader end, but I can't get the twists tight enough for what I like on the hook end. I make up rigs and leave the leader end open so I can put on what ever witch, Upright troller, etc., I want the night before (or on the boat).
