I'm  still puzzling over this statement.  I bought my safety wire pliers  at
HF quite a few years ago; and while I don't do a lot of safety wire  work,
they've lasted far beyond "a few fasteners".  The handles are  springy enough
that I have no trouble closing them even on .050" wire while  they still grip
.025" firmly; and the latch has never bent or needed to be  fiddled with.  

The latch spring is stiffer than some others I've  used, so I've never
learned to hold the pliers and close the latch with the  same hand (as I've
seen other mechanics do).  But for something I  might use 8 or 10 times and
then put away for a year or two, it does the  job.  And my left hand is
usually readily available to close the latch  <G>



Mine have worked just fine also-through the restoration of two E Types  which 
are extensively safety wired.
I wonder what you are doing that's different.
