> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayThe product is is great and is just as advertised but it was inadequately packaged for shipping - a mailer envelope was used rather than a box - and so the plastic reel was broken off in several places during transport. I did not return it or request a refund because the plastic shielded wire was undamaged.

> 3 dayGreat for framing pictures. I have used it on over 40 picture frames for my art photography business (art & craft shows) and very happy with the quality and performance.

> 3 dayI truly like this wire. It’s not very thin and not so thick, but very sturdy and easy to manipulate. Also it won’t injure your hand because when you cut it, it won’t have sharp ends. So no need to tape the ends. I really like to use it for my canvas.

> 3 dayAwesome product! This is my second roll of this and using it I have never cried out, or writhed in pain as I did using wire that was not plastic coated. I use it to put wire on the backs of my paintings and I will never bother to try anything else. This is a wonderful product that I wholeheartedly recommend!

Greater than one weekGreat product. It is easy on the hands, sturdy, and theres plenty of it. I used it to make a grid on an empty picture frame, and I clip cards and photos to it. Worked very well for this purpose. The frame is large and there was still plenty of wire left over when I finished.

> 3 dayThis stuff is so worth it. Made in the USA. This will last me a long time and the coating will help my fingers last as well.

> 3 dayIts obvious why this wire has an almost perfect review record. Pros: 1. Its affordable and really a great deal. 2. Theres a lot of it and itll last a good long while. My wife paints a lot and I used to buy hanging wire at home depot. It was a few dollars for about 20 feet and Id go through it way too fast. 3. I was hesitant about the protective material thinking it might slip but I love it. Very gentle on the hands while tying and it does stay put. 4. Its strong. 5. Easy to cut with a pair of good tin snips. Cons: Zero
