I use one of the Chinese made pliers kits, and they have worked just fine for a while. The aircraft guys do it manually with locking needle-nose.
You will probably also want a nice set of medium-sized electrician's dykes since the safety wire tool really sucks at removing the wire. And, I like to use needle nose pliers to curl the finishing twists into a ring so you don't snag or get cut by the wire's sharp ends. Especially with the .032 with its size and stiffness, when you use typical wire cutters on it you are left with what is basically a razor blade on the edge of the wire.
