Same bend the ends over for a better grip then trim to size. 

 

Also worked really well with ceiling grid wire, used to get rolls from the skips and do metres at a time and cut to length for fish wires. 

Easier to hand twist and lash in close nice white cover

Never used a hook in the drill myself, I just use a specific Bosch mini 12v drill and bang the pair straight into the chuck. Literally 5 seconds on reverse spin and it’s done, nice neat pairs all looking identical and even twists.

 

Anticlockwise ?

 

I started with mains drill & keyed chuck

 

I recall wrapping it in a plaggy bag to put sounders up in the rain, then getting a 9.6v Makita in tin box with a stick battery

Anti clockwise... 

I’m right handed but I twist pairs with left hand. Plays total fcukery with my OCD on terminating panels. Staff are trained to do it this way, I go mental on my random routine audits if I see anything else.... My head just can’t cope with it..

Anti-clockwise twisting with left but right handed, I do the same but without the OCD...

[norman]

Clockwise here and I'm left handed.  Fuck you OCD.

Saw this & thought of the artist formerly know as Logan.   

 

A collection of knacked old sounders displayed in date order?
