I'm looking for some general recommendations for quality steel wire to use
as wire for making clamps, a la the Clamp-Tite tool. In looking at
various wire available, I notice that I have a choice of various tempers,
from soft all the way to spring temper. Anyone have any opinions as to
what temper of wire to use to get a clamp that'll hold tight and be
durable? I think I can sort out steel types and diameters more or less
myself.

Thanks
