> 24 hourI was changing the heating elements on my oven/stove range and learned that if I was going to have to change any of the wires I needed 8 gauge wire, heat resistant. But this wire that I got (8 gauge it says) does not look anything like the wire that is used throughout the electrical work of the stove/oven. The stove/oven wire appears to be about one third the diameter of the ordered wire in question. It has a hard, heat resistant , thin coating whereas the wire that was sent to me is covered in soft silicone, the kind you might use to make a mouthpiece out of. Apparently the wire I ordered is used to enhance the volume of the crappy music people play these days.

> 24 hourI wanted this wire to run between the battery and the inverter on a solar backup power system. I was very impressed with how flexible the wire was and how easily the stripping tool I had was able to cut away the insulation on the ends. So I was able to install lugs (not included) on the ends easily to make the cable I desired. It came with a velcro like strap to hold the loop of wire together which was a nice touch. The hardest part about installation was that the individual strands in the cable were so fine, it was a little difficult to make sure all of them went into the lug. The flexibility of the cable was worth that little difficulty. .

> 24 hourThis is a very value-oriented set of wire that a works exceptionally well with some mc4 solar connectors and is quite a bit easier for me to use with a charge controller than an equivalent solid-core wire. It’s malleable, the jacket is strong and isn’t too bad to take off or work with. I’m using this with a MPPT controller and it’s been great. There is quite a bit of wire for the MSRP and I think it’s a great value. Pros: Great value Easy to use than solid-core Conducts well Malleable Thick Flexible Cons: Stranded might not work for everyone Overall, I would highly recommend checking this out if you’re in the market for some wire that won’t break the proverbial “bank”.
