Baling wire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baling wire, otherwise known as "farm wire" or "soft wire," is primarily used in an agricultural setting for everything from mending fences to manually binding square bales of hay, straw, or cut grass.

Baling wire is commonly used in many non-agricultural applications, usually in an informal, make-do manner. It is frequently referred to as one of the basic repair materials. Typical uses range from supporting loose mufflers to patching chain-link fences. Common phrases often include baling wire as an ad hoc, fix-anything material, alongside chewing gum, duct tape, and the cable tie.
