tie wire is soft steel.

It certainly is as used on vintage cars, etc. High tensile stuff wouldn't
twist without breaking.

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 things are different on the planet Mr Life lives on.

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.
