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.

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.

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.
