SuperSoftstrand 500-Feet Picture Wire Vinyl Coated Stranded Stainless Steel

The spool was broken when it arrived, but the wire itself is just what I wanted. Cuts well and feels sturdy.

This wire is really easy to work with and once you get the hang of how to tie the knot it gives your pictures a very professionally framed look. Make sure to get a pair of good needle nose pliers with good wire snip.

Not the manufacturers fault, and this wire itself is good quality, but the Amazon packaging was poor and the spool broke in shipping, so the wire was largely unraveled in the bag they shipped it in, making for quite a mess. I was able to put it on another spool, but kind of a hassle.

We live in a historic home with picture moulding 11 feet from the floor. This product easily suspends our heavy old paintings securely without a worry of damaging costly wallpaper or slipping and is almost unnoticeable. A perfect fit for antique houses.

This stuff is great. Flexible but strong. I used 40 lengths of this to make tomato plant tie ups. After they were done, I untied it and coiled it up for next year. No kinks, no breaks.

I produce fine art photography and digital art on canvas for sale & display at art shows. Most Art Guilds require you to wrap the ends of the picture hanging wire with tape to avoid cuts when hanging your pictures. I no longer have to go through the added time of wrapping the ends because this wire is coated and does not produce sharp edges. The #5 wire is a good all purpose wire. It will hold 43 lbs. but is not too thick for smaller pictures. It is easy to work with and easy to wrap the ends. It is strong and durable for all picture hanging applications. Buying this on Amazon is also a real money saver. It costs about $0.07 per foot on Amazon when purchased in the standard 500 roll. You can buy this at craft stores or hardware stores, but you will pay about $0.30 per foot in 10 packages. If 500 is too much for you, you may want to offer to share the cost with other people who hang a lot of pictures or members of your Arts Guild. I already sold over 300 at my cost to other Art Guild members and I will be placing an order for another roll. Overall this is a great product. I would highly recommend it. For extra strength, you should check out another Amazon product, the Loos Cableware SL1-2 Aluminum Duplex Oval Crimping Sleeve Set for 1/16 Diameter Wire Rope (50 Piece). If you use these crimping sleeves on heavier pictures along with the SuperSoftstrand #5 wire, your picture will be secure and will never unravel. It is recommended to use a crimping tool, but you can also use a good pair of heavy duty pliers to crimp these connectors.

I use a lot of this wire for hanging pictures, the soft insulation is great because it doesnt mar painted walls like bare steel or aluminum will do. The recommended wrapping/knot technique is pictured on the spools label, this is very handy.

great product, good price

This picture wire is great and easy to work with. The plastic coating makes it very hand-friendly when tying into the hanging hardware. I have been able to hang frames as big as 48x48 and as small as 11x14 with this stuff. I have never been disappointed in its ability to hold a picture up properly. A single roll is size 5 wire gauge by 500ft long. It has a max hold of 43lbs. Standard wire cutters will cut this wire no problem as well. Pros: *Very strong yet easy to work with *Finger friendly *Long lasting Cons: *None Additional Considerations: Combined with
