Andy,
I have found the Harbor 304 grade wire to be reasonably soft although
I would not consider it “dead soft.”
I am able to bend it consistently around 3/32" diameter pins located
at 1/4" center to center using a piece of wire long enough to wrap
around two or three fingers then applying moderate hand strength-
pliers make it fairly easy. I would consider this bend difficult if
using only finger strength.
Hope this helps.
