Are there different strenghts of safety wire? If so can anyone tell me where to but it at. It seems the wire I have is not very strong. Thanks

Safety wire isn't supposed to be strong! It isn't there to hold stuff together.
If your fastners are installed correctly, there will be no load on the wire. If they aren't it's there to keep from losing the fastner, not to keep it from coming loose. (Though that is a benefit if you catch the loose fastner during an inspection.)
