I used the wire that came with the tool.  The OK JUST WRAP (TM) does not
even make connections half the time.  In addition, I should point out that
any wire wrapping procedure is not reliable unless the pins cut into the
wire, even when you use uninsulated wire.  When wrapping non square pins
like resistors, I go back and solder over the wrappings.
