Last week, I found a safety wire job that was barely holding on.
I was inspecting a propeller and noticed the safety wire was almost undone. This could have led to a big problem if it came loose in the air! How do you make sure your safety wire stays put?

That safety wire was hanging by a thread, @wyatt_brown78.

That's a scary find! Good catch spotting it before it let go. What's your usual method for locking those wires? I always double check the twist and pull tension by hand, but I've heard some folks swear by different plier techniques. Are you dealing with vibration loosening it, or could it be how the initial install was done?
