In an auto body shop, tie wire (also called baling wire or mechanic's wire) is a versatile material used for a variety of purposes, including:

1. Temporary Repairs and Fastening:

   • Tie wire is often used to secure loose or damaged parts temporarily, such as exhaust pipes, bumpers, or brackets, until proper repairs can be made.

2. Hanging or Supporting Parts:

   • It can be used to suspend parts, such as brake calipers, out of the way during repairs or painting to prevent strain on hoses or cables.

3. Holding Parts During Welding:

   • Tie wire can be used to hold metal parts in position while welding or fabricating, ensuring proper alignment.

4. Securing Components in Place:

   • It may be used to hold body panels, wiring, or other components in place during assembly or repair work.

5. Marking or Bundling Parts:

   • Tie wire can bundle small parts together or mark components for organization during disassembly and reassembly.

6. Custom Applications:

   • In fabrication or custom work, tie wire is used creatively for mock-ups, bracing, or positioning parts before final fitting or welding.

Its strength, flexibility, and ease of use make tie wire a handy tool for many quick fixes and tasks in an auto body shop setting.

Sometimes called lacing wire.
