-
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.
-
Holding Parts During Welding:
- Tie wire can be used to hold metal parts in position while welding or fabricating, ensuring proper alignment.
-
Securing Components in Place:
- It may be used to hold body panels, wiring, or other components in place during assembly or repair work.
-
Marking or Bundling Parts:
- Tie wire can bundle small parts together or mark components for organization during disassembly and reassembly.
-
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.
