Lock wire is NOT "soft steel" you complete and utter retard. It is a very specialized, high tensile strength wire. Soft steel does not get made into wire AT ALL.
You really are one stupid fucktard.
Seems you know nothing of even US suppliers.
It comes in many varieties.

There is NO lock wire that is "soft steel" as you declared, you dumb fucktard. And all the dancing in the world will not allow you to achieve escape velocity from your utter stupidity.
LOCK WIRE IS HIGH STRENGTH STAINLESS.
YOU are a goddamned retard.
When will your group abusing ass ever DIE! DIE! DIE!?
You're being a bit harsh, Dave.
When choosing a tool it's a good idea to consult an expert, someone who uses the tool professionally.
He clearly knows bugger-all about cutters, but if you're looking for the best mop for the job, Nymbecile's yer man! (or possibly woman).
tie wire is soft steel.

So bolt cutters? The same principle as side cutters?
You seem to want to apply terms to whatever you feel like. Bolt cutters to the man in the street work in the same way as side cutters.

So that's why they supply it made out of brass, copper, ally etc?
BTW your 'very specialized, high tensile strength wire' definition seems to have changed somewhat...

It certainly is as used on vintage cars, etc. High tensile stuff wouldn't twist without breaking.
Perhaps things are different on the planet Mr Life lives on.

"Tie wire"? Is that what you brits call "lock wire"? The wire used to keep fasteners from becoming loose and falling off of an assembly?
If so, you are dumber than dog shit. LOCK WIRE is ALL stainless. HIGH GRADE STAINLESS. It is a mission critical assembly element in nearly ANY AND ALL military assemblies where vibration is introduced.
That pretty much covers all of it, and no, they do not use soft steel for this purpose EVER, ANYWHERE. Anytime you get a chance, take a look and see if you EVER see any locked fasteners and assembly where the lock wire has rusted. You cannot. The reason is simple. Aside from the apparent lack of aptitude to grasp the concept to begin with that some here seem to possess.
That is yet another place where your aptitude for the discussion is shown to be below that which is required to understand the principles involved.
You really are an idiot. There are SEVERAL different varieties and styles of bolt cutter, dumbass!
The ones most of you lay fucktards are aware of are the type you describe. A lay fucktard like you could never grasp the concept of a shear operation. You have proven that in this very thread. You have arrived at a place that has shown you to have a competency level below that which you claim to possess.
As long as you are in it, this discussion is meaningless. You blatant lack of understanding of the physical realm suggests that you should go find another forum to plow in, Plowtard.
Again you prove that you did not read the very site you posted. They sell wire. All kinds of wire. The only kind they sell that they refer to as lock wire is stainless.
Your capacity to grasp any aspect of reality hasn't. It remains firmly slabbed in at ground level. Zero. The concrete that is holding you there is made from your own stupidity.
That is the very attribute that keeps lock wire from breaking. High tensile strength wire resists breaking when twisted.
You are confusing tensile capacity for brittleness, which this wire NEVER has. It is made from steel that is specifically formulated such that it will NOT work harden.
Not that you would or could even grasp the concept, since you are obviously unaware of what "tensile" means.
Perhaps you are too quick to jump on the know-it-all bandwagon, because you don't even come close.
ALL locking wire is made from stainless or it would rust right off the nuts and bolts it is threaded through to be locking. Perhaps where you live folks are only aware of how to act as if they have any grasp of physics. That sad part is that it is blatantly obvious that you do not.
Who cares about *only* military applications?
Lock wire was common on vintage cars, etc. Still used on London Taxis up until recently - may still be. And it is a soft iron wire which can be twisted easily.

You really need to watch your blood pressure, pet.
Go into your local tool supplier and ask for some bolt cutters. And then come back here.
