Can steel strapping seals be used to strap rebar?

Can steel strapping seals be used to strapping steel bars? Absolutely not.
It's not even for this:
Steel strapping (with sealing components) is used to strapping boxes, pallets, and large items to secure them during transportation and prevent them from scattering.
Steel reinforcement bundling is a key step in building houses and repairing bridges, which involves firmly fixing steel bars together according to the design position, forming a skeleton, and waiting for concrete pouring. It is related to whether the entire building is sturdy and safe.

Not securely strappingd, easy to loosen:
Steel reinforcement bundling requires that each intersection point be strappingd very tightly, and the tying wire should be twisted tightly or tightened with specialized tools, so that there is almost no movement gap between the steel bars.
Steel strapping is secured by sealing components (buttons) to prevent large items from shifting. It is difficult to strapping steel bars, which are hard and slippery, with a "tight" feeling, and can easily loosen with slight vibration or force. The steel nodes became loose, causing the entire frame to fall apart.

Too complicated and inconvenient to operate:
The steel reinforcement worker should strapping the steel bars quickly and accurately. Wire (or specialized cable strappings) can be flexibly operated with pliers or small tools in the gaps of the steel mesh, and strappingd wherever you want, as tightly as you want.
Steel strapping is hard and wide, requiring specialized tensioning tools (tensioners) and fastening tools. It cannot be used in the dense steel mesh, is too bulky, and has extremely low efficiency. And those tools are also inconvenient to drag on the construction site.

Easy to damage steel bars and rust:
The edge of the steel strapping is sharp, and during the process of tightening and fastening, it is easy to scratch the protective layer on the surface of the steel bars (which is very important for rust prevention). If the steel bars are scratched, they are prone to rust and decay in the future.
The straps and seals themselves are also prone to rusting. Rust not only reduces strength, but also pollutes concrete, affecting its appearance and quality. The zip strappings or specialized zip strappings used on construction sites have been considered for rust prevention.

The strength seems sufficient, but it is not practical:
The tension of steel strip alone may not be small, but when used on steel bars, it is not just about the tension. The stress on steel reinforcement nodes is very complex, with tension, torsion, and compression. The buckle type connection method is prone to collapse or deformation failure under the pressure of steel bars and concrete impact, and is far less reliable than tightly twisting iron wires.

Unable to shoulder safety responsibilistrappings:
Houses and bridges take decades to build, and human life is of paramount importance. Steel reinforcement bundling is the foundation of structural safety. Replace it with something that is incompatible and unsafe. If the nodes become loose and cause structural problems, no one can bear the responsibility. The construction site supervisor and acceptance party will never allow it.
