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

Works perfect.

When I found this brand of hanging wire, that was it, I do not use any other - no more fraying, not more fingers getting pricked, no more rust, etc. This wire is durable and easy to use.

BETTER THAN WIRE SOLDIN STORES

good quality wire and coating, pictures are still hanging so 5 stars.

I’ve been using this coated wire, for a couple of years, on the back of all of my oil paintings, large and small. The larger ones (20”x20” and larger) get the #5 wire. My smaller paintings (12” x 12” and smaller) get the thinner #4 wire.

It was my first time purchasing and using this type of picture wire. It was expected and worked well. Most of all, I appreciated not getting any of those painful finger pokes by the end of the wire.

I purchased this based on other reviews. I had been working with a 16 gauge wire and gave up. I had the reviews and this is really easy to work with

So far, Ive used this to wire two picture frames and am very happy with the result. It was surprisingly easy to work with, and held its shape when I wound the loose end around the wire in a tight spiral to finish the knot. No pierced fingers, easy to cut with a small pair of wire cutters, and seems very sturdy. It provides a professional, finished appearance, too.

Wish I knew about this product years ago

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.
