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

good

After using some wire that I already had in a picture hanging kit I had the misfortune to have my mirror crash to the floor. The wire had simply snapped in two pieces. Thankfully nothing broke as the mirror landed on the carpet. Realizing how lucky I was having a large object fall off a wall I decided to be much smarter about my second try. I matched the weight of the mirror to the type of wire. To be sure I would not have a future accident I weighed my mirror (20 lbs) and bought this Super SoftStrand (No. 5) hanging wire which is rated to hold pictures up to a maximum of 43 lbs. The wire tie off instructions are shown in four images on the front of the (80 ft.) spool. I still need a little extra help so I went to their website. The manufacturer recommends wrapping the wire around in tight circles eight full times (see image 4). Im very happy with my purchase and certainly now feel more secure with my mirror hanging on the wall. The plastic coated wire was both easy to wrap and cut to length using wire snips. Plus since the spool is only four inches across its easy to store for my next picture hanging project.

Quick shipping and worked great

Picture hanging projects

Not bad. Plastic sheath feels durable. Wires inside are kinda thick, so flexibility is mehh. Used the wire to rig my kayak rudder. Took it out once and so far so good.

Really is... soft.

Easy to use and super strong to hang my large canvas Paintings

This picture wire was exactly what I needed to help hang a few frames around the home! I wanted something that was made of stranded stainless steel and had a vinyl coating to help protect the fingers as well as the steel wire itself. I had trouble finding what I needed for some time since most of the other products are typically not made of stainless steel, are not vinyl coated, and are only available in short lengths for a relatively high price. This was the perfect combination of quality of materials, length of wire, and price that I was looking for. The wire comes wrapped on the spool, which makes this even easier to store for future projects. To top it all off, I felt assured that the wire would easily hold the weight that was specified. Do yourself a favor and dont buy expensive garbage quality picture wire from other brands or retailers. Stick with this brand and you wont go wrong! P.S. They also sell various wire sizes for heavier frames as well.

Easy to install and works perfect. Good looking

I purchased this 2 years ago and used it on some of my paintings. Got remainder out today to use again (was stored inside my home) and it has an oily coating on it. Its like the plastic coating has started releasing oil. Will not use remainder and will never buy again.
