Ho Hum !

Why spend the money in the first place..take one pair of hands, one pair of snips and either flat nosed pliers or ordinary pliers....and the basic and essential hand skill......sorted !

use your hands! fingers will soon toughen up, then finish the job with your leatherman/gerber, which ever your prefer... a pair of pliers/cutter is a pair of pliers/cutters, wether thats all the do or not! so dont worry about using them for wire locking

carefull though, multi tools cause laziness... they are there to get you out the ****... im abit guilty of the first though as im sure many others are

Use what gives the best quality of workmanship for the access you have. Safety wire pliers, wirelocking rods or hands,. Just remember that locking that looks like the trans lunar path of an Apollo spacecraft isn't doing its job and pigtails save others fingers... Wish the bl00dy poles would understand that.. As*eholes..
