The 1mm A4 stainless steel diameter on the mini spool is approximately 10m and is a convenient way to ensure a secure hold. To solve those problems, jigs are available which are designed to securely hold the fastener while providing a guide-channel for a drill bit (with either a hand drill or a press) so that the technician can easily and directly apply force from the drill to the fastener without having it slip off or breaking the bit. A cotter pin or a couple of loops of mousing wire through this hole serves the same purpose and secures the shackle in a closed position. Even though drill presses ease the process, a press isn't always available, such as at a race event; and even with a press, the problem of securing the fastener still exists. Although primarily used in motor racing, using safety wire to secure components finds many applications in high performance and classic road cars also.

The alternative to drilling holes in fasteners is to use safety wire tabs (see Safety wire tabs section below), or to purchase pre-drilled fasteners.

Once the safety wire is properly installed, the sides of the tab transfer the force of the safety wire to the fastener, as though the fastener itself had been drilled and had the safety wire run through it. One side of the tab is longer than the other with a small hole at the top, through which safety wire is threaded.A more simplistic application of safety wire, more commonly referred to as witness wiring, is the use of light gauge, single strand, copper wire to provide positive visual confirmation of the security or closure of specific equipment within the aerospace industry. Professional lock wire for commercial or occasional use Stainless steel lock wire Twist safety wire Commonly used in motor sport and also used in the aeronautical and defence industries Wide range of uses including safety wiring of nuts, bolts, turnbuckles to prevent loss through engine vibration / movement As well as this can be used for crafts, jewellery making, tying and binding Also used to secure oil drain plugs, filters, grips and bolts etc. We are also the UK and European distributor for Aircraft Spruce and Speciality, with whom we have been doing business with for over 25 years. It is usually made of stainless steel, but is also available in monel and inconel alloys for high temperature applications and copper for break-away applications.
