Super Softstrand, Vinyl-Coated Stranded Stainless Steel Picture Wrapping Wire, Size #5, 43 lb / 20 kg, 80 ft / 24 m

I did try #4 but for my purposes I found it would be too light BUT my review applies to both #4 and #5 (just different weight bearing). Have tried several hanging wires and honestly nothing touches the quality of Softstrand with vinyl casing. These wires are flexible and easy to wrap by hand (protective vinyl casing makes a huge difference) and extremely durable. A final pinch with the pliers to close off the end and voila! My paintings and framed photos say thank you as I have no concerns about the wire being too weak, fraying, snapping. Customer service is oustanding. Highly recommend - and remember this wire is worth the slightly longer delivery time.

I got tired of poked fingers when adding hanging wire. The coated stainless is ideal, easy on fingers and corrosion resistant.

I needed this level of quality for a specific application. works as intended.

Worked great! Had to look up how to tie the knots (the photos on the front of the product were only slightly insufficient), but thats probably more user error than anything else... :)

Loved it! So much nicer to work with than standard uncoated picture hanging wire.

Gentle easy on the hands yet strong and sturdy. Cuts well, twists well, nice packaging.

Used this product many times for hanging pictures/artwork as gifts. Definitely recommend.

If you find yourself doing your own framing or have a need to frame and hang a large number of pictures, get this wire. It is plastic coated. When used with the recommended tie and wrap method, this framing wire makes for a very professional looking job that is durable and so easy on your fingers. You can find several YouTube videos on the proper wiring method to hang a painting. That method seems to be made for this Softstrand wire. If you are an artist and doing your own framing, your customers will appreciate the quality this wire adds to your work when presented for framing. Softstrand comes in different gauges suitable for a wide range of sized paintings. It is the only wire I will use

Used to replace lesser quality wires on mirrors and pictures.

good
