I had the same issue with the bottom of the plastic box. The piece you popped off is supposed to STAY attached. On the other end, there's the word "push" (maybe press, mine is across the room in the tool chest) that you...push. It goes in a little, and a spring operated gizmo in the other end pops the whole tray up a little and disconnects from a clip that was holding the tray in. You pull the tray out from the OTHER end. So snap that bottom piece back in, and insert the tray from the other end, noting the "push" legend on the top label. (Ah, yes, you discovered it!) I just tried my first wire tie. I had to get a spool of safety wire (soft annealed stainless steel) from Amazon. The Syinno site doesn't provide wire sizes in gauge, it only gives thicknesses in millimeters. To be honest, they don't give an awful lot of information there at all, just what you'd need to know in order to back the project, not to use the product. They don't even tell you what kind of wire to use, and they don't give a supply of wire to we poor backers. Only you reviewers got any wire pieces to test it with. (We certainly didn't get any nippers, screws, anything like that. Thankfully, though, I already have a set of Felco C7 wire-rope cutters, the best wire nippers on the planet.) At least here in the States, we measure wire thickness by gauge -- the smaller the number, the thicker the wire. From digging into the specs and listings for safety wire, I found that the limits of 0.5mm -- 2.5mm wire gives US gauge wires of 24 gauge to around 11 or 10 gauge. I chose two gauges to start with, some 24 gauge and some 16 gauge. The thinnest to only about a 1.4mm thickness, not nearly the maximum. Of course the 16 gauge arrives first. Ow, my hands... So those aren't just "random wires", they're pre-cut lengths of annealed stainless steel safety wire. It's easy to find on Amazon, though there are plenty of companies that make it that DON'T sell through Amazon. Just search "stainless steel safety wire" and you should be good. I bought mine on Amazon, but the maker, "Wire and Cable Specialties, Inc." has their own site. You want the menu option on their site that says "safety wire". There are probably a bunch of similar companies out there. You DO have to cut the length pretty substantial, because you have to double it, then have enough to get into the notches on the axle so you can tighten it up. That's why the wires they sent you are so long. The diameter of your work piece to be wired up affects how long a wire you cut. A necessary digression: There will probably be people who say "just buy a pair of safety wire pliers!" This tool does not try to take the place of safety wire pliers. They each do a very different job. Most safety wires are not pulled and bent taut like Syinno does. They are actually TWISTED together. That's because a lot of safety wire runs through small holes, such as in the heads of bolts, then are twisted down tight so you can't remove the wire without cutting it, making any sort of tamper seal evident. Some uses involve twisting a long tail together, then running the tail through ANOTHER hole, and locking it in place somehow on the other side. There are aircraft uses for safety wire twisted in this fashion, most notably the emergency fuel feed cutoff valve. If you have an in-flight emergency and need to cut fuel flow to the engine, like if you have a fire in the engine compartment, you snap that wire and the valve closes. It's designed so you need to have it inspected and get the fuel feed re-enabled, so the safety wire and its seal are made to be impossible to remove without making it PAINFULLY obvious you've done so. This is not a trivial thing in an airplane -- in my partner's Cessna, an important point on the checklist is to ascertain, by touch, that the safety wire is in place and intact before starting the engine. It's right under the edge of the control panel near the pilot's right knee. This method of tightening and self-clamping safety wire to make single-use hose clamps and other fasteners is new to me, and uses a totally different method. Look up "safety wire pliers" and see. They're designed so you can spin the head of the pliers along its axis, to twist the wire easily. The Syinno tightens and turns it _tangentially_ to the item being clamped, a very different procedure for very different reasons. Ok, digression over. The first thing I figured out is that you need to use gloves while holding the wire if you have dainty patty-paws like mine. (Chuck Norris wouldn't need gloves. The Syinno would need gloves to protect it from Chuck Norris's hands.) Second is to have not only a pair of nippers, but a pair of pliers to manipulate the wires when they're clipped short makes things a lot easier, neater, and less painful. The third thing is to do what you did, at least for practice, do your practicing over a workbench, because fourth, most stainless steel safety wire is NOT magnetic, so it'll be difficult to find short caltrops...I mean, pieces...in the carpet. Did Syinno send you documentation greater than a little sheet saying "put the tip into the driver THIS way to twist safety wire"? Because the only instructions I've been able to find is going through the pitch video, pausing and re-running the parts that show the steps to take. That's the only way I managed to do my first test with the thing. It DOES work. If you get all the steps right. Don't tighten the wire too tightly at first, because you need to swing the driver across the hitch in the middle, so you can lock the loop in place. That wasn't clear, and I wound up tightening it too far and couldn't lever it over to the other side without unwinding and straightening wire. But I did eventually get it. It's a very unusual tool, with a fairly narrow use case. Which is probably why they combined it with a screwdriver bit set. I didn't care about that part, I already have a lovely and far more compact set that I am already used to. The set with the Syinno has its own unusual bits, so it isn't a completely redundant set, but I probably won't use it for its screwdrivers. If I'm already using it to cinch down a piece of tubing, or to clamp things together, but I also have to deal with small screws in the same job, I'll use the screwdriver bits it came with. But if I don't need the wire-bending features, I'll go with my usual set. My guess is that most people will.

I know the wire tool as a haywire tensioner!
They have been around for years I have even made my own in the past, very useful tool for quick fix!
Very cool!

BRILLIANT!
Hey Jordan, loving the channel! Any chance we could see a review on that collapsible table you’ve got? Thanks!
Jubilee Clips ???
Shame this turned out to be a scam. They got me, damn you Jordan!
Would you be able to do review on the milwaukee sds dust extractor
Hey really enjoying the channel, any chance of doing a utility knife comparison and rating? Thanks in advanced
When he said are you getting any clues I'm thinking to myself this whole video makes it feel like Elementary School cartoon like blue's clues
Does it come in vde? 😃
Artisan 🤔

Wire locking pliers or safety wire as yanks call it.

your vioce is a bit AMSR try backiing off a bit
Its bad that the syinno never shipped anything to the kickstart backers starting to look like a scam, they are trying the same on indigogo now

Why would you advertise a scam?
Yea! Forget you, Amazon! And your slow, I-take-forever-to-load vids. I found it on RUclips! Ha!
Like the look of the tool used in this video why not pick up your own from the following link. 👇

Well that turned out to be a scam.
Over-Engineered much?
