Straighten the ends of the wire and trim them with wire cutters to make them an even length. 3. Insert the trimmed ends into the chuck on an electric drill and tighten the chuck. Hold the wire taut and rotate the drill until the wire is twisted to the desired tightness. 4. Loosen the chuck and remove the wire. Trim the ends again. 5.
