So I started doing my wrap with flat nozed pliers which cured my problem. I go back and tighten the initial hook that I started with because it is always looser than the succeeding wraps.

It is very inexpensive and does the job quite nicely. The copper wire does not have all guages in square, but the ones that are available, will work with most of the instructions for projects you would be using it for.
