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.

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

Paraphrasing the description it says that the slotted side of the cutters is widened so that the other part can be slid through the slot and then the widened slot is closed down again before the two halves are secured together at the pivot pin.

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. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---

Not likely, little old fuckhead. I work with mil gear every day, and I have for decades. I knew about lock wires and the industrial uses for it back in the late 60s at less then ten years old. You are out of your league, Plowtard boy. |
