SuperSoftstrand 500-Feet Picture Wire Vinyl Coated Stranded Stainless Steel

The 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.

Go to for my framing. Comfortable in hands. Won’t scuff your wall. Strong.

I absolutely love this. So nice and much easier to work with than traditional picture hanging wire. I will never go back to traditional wire again.

The stuff I was using before was just plain wire, without any coating over it, and the stuff always left a residue on my hands, like lead, and the mess was annoying at the least. This stuff, by comparison, is a whole other experience, and easily turned a negative into a positive. Whoever thought of this, thank you so much.

Awesome 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!

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.

Professional looking wire for my frames, durable, long lasting, and easy on the fingers.

The product itself is very good. Using it as a picture hanging wire and it is quite nice and holds its shape when twisted. However. The plastic spool it is packed on was broken on arrival. There were no pieces in the box so I have to assume it was broken at the shipping center. (Amazon shipped it?) The wire on the spool completely unwound in the box during shipping and was really bad to deal with. 500 ft of stainless wire literally unsprung from the box like a long loose spring. I made my own spool and rewound it on that and that will work fine. The annoyance factor for this was very high. If Amazon packed and/or handled this for shipping they need to look at how they are storing this product. This really was a big annoyance for me.

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

Im an artist and I hate those goofy packages of wire that have enough for one or two paintings. This is perfect. Easy to keep in my studio and when Im wiring a piece at the last minute (seems that is my M.O.) I dont need to scrounge through containers or take wire from another piece.
