Tying Strings...The Best Tool(s)

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi Jason, No, you can get a smaller eye with the vise grips and any mark on
the wire will be on the nonload part of the string. So there is no chance of
a nick causing the string to break.  BTW I use round  nose pliers as thy are
easier for me to work the wire.
