I have a pair of twister pliers for lock wire. They are not actually
meant to be use to CUT the wire either, even though they have side
cutters incorporated into them. Any monkey knows how to flex fracture
wire that uses a medium that work hardens. That is the right way to
"cut" lock wire. In fact, one is supposed to use the side cutter to
simply score the wire a bit, and then the number of flexes is reduced to
just a few.
Lock wire is soft steel. If you have pliers not able to cut that, put them
back in the kid's play box where they came from.
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.
tie wire is soft steel.

"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?
No, I'm talking about tie wire, as used to secure reinforcing before
pouring concrete. You said "Soft steel does not get made into wire AT
ALL" and that's incorrect.
