SuperSoftstrand 500-Feet Picture Wire Vinyl Coated Stranded Stainless Steel

Super SoftStrand is very finger-friendly, Super-soft, flexible, smooth on your fingers - easy to twist. I use it for a wide variety of picture hanging tasks as well as with many other craft products. It is much more economical than buying the short lengths of wire at an art or box store. I was really happy with the product, the price, and the time it took to get it. Will purchase again.

Very easy to use for picture frames or other items to hang on walls- no sharp edge or cut fingers! Added support wires to several jersey cases mounted without drilling into basement poured walls. Worked well rated for weight above items hung provided an additional measure of safely and security. Very pleased would recommend to friends and family without hesitation!

This stuff is awesome. I recommend it to anyone that needs to hang pictures. I use it to wire my canvases and its perfect, especially for my large painting that are 48 x 60.

I work as a handyman. Lately I have been doing a lot of picture hanging. Maybe a 45 LB wire is overkill on tiny frames ( < 10 lbs) but the ease of use, and having it on a spool is a real time saver. But, whenever I use this product, I get flashbacks to my childhood, watching the Roadrunner cartoons, thinking about the Coyote and a spool of fuse wire for dynamite, that somehow always ended badly for the Coyote.

This wire is amazing. I used it to hang a lot of paintings and it is soft and secure. Looks very professional for shows. And inexpensive enough to buy in bulk.

This is the absolute best wire for hanging art unless you have REALLY heavy pictures. The plastic coating keeps you and the buyer from cutting your fingers from those pesky little tiny wires twisted in those other kinds of hanging wires that you can never quite crimp all the way when you cut them. This spool even comes with very clear photographs as to how to bend this wire back on itself so that it wont come undone, for those of us artists who never quite mastered the surgeons knot necessary to secure traditional framers wire. I, however, was very disappointed in the packing job, as this spool comes with two holes along the edge so that you can twist the cut end back into them. My spool came broken on both sides because of the packing job...:( The wire isnt going to unravel like a spool of thread, as the wire is stiff, but thats why I only gave this product 4 stars instead of the 5 stars it deserves. Come on guys in the packing department.... get your act(s) together!

Very good wire! Soft coating, and flexible hold. Exactly what I wanted to hang frames and canvases.

I run a photography business with several studios. I have worked with the plain picture wire for over 40 years. Always sticking the wires in my fingers as I frame and hang art. This product has a very thin but pliable vinyl coating over the strong wire eliminating the frayed wires that cut you. Never going back to the old stuff.

This stuff is like a miracle tool ! I bought it for hanging frames, but since then, I have used it for twist tying cords together! I love this stuff & plan on finding many more uses!

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.
