A special type pliers used in aviation is the duckbill pliers. These long-handled flat-nose pliers are typically used to twist and help remove safety wire. The jaws of duckbill pliers have serrations to grip safety wire, while the handles are long enough to provide a good tight grip on the wire while it is being twisted.
See figure 1 for example.

Duckbill pliers are an excellent tool for twisting safety wire because they have serrations that grip the wire and their handles are long enough to provide a tight grip.
Insanely comprehensive :)
