SuperSoftstrand 500-Feet Picture Wire Vinyl Coated Stranded Stainless Steel

I picked up a freshly framed print from a framer friend of mine and noticed how neatly his back wire was wrapped. I asked if he had a machine that does the wrapping so neatly. No, he said he uses this vinyl coated wire and that it just wraps neatly. I exhibit prints throughout the year and frame most of my own exhibit prints because they are fairly straightforward to frame (I give the more artistic frame jobs to my friend the professional) and until this day I had always used the bare stranded steel and not only was it messy, but it often left me with little bloody holes and slices in my fingers. As soon as I got home from the frame shop I logged onto amazon and looked for the vinyl coated wire. My framing life has been changed forever. This stuff is so easy to work with and just as my friend said, it wraps perfectly. I have no cut fingers and the wire feels incredibly secure. I wish I had known about this stuff before now. And this large roll is not going to be finished any time soon so it really is cost effective to purchase the wire this way. As far as I am concerned this is one of those near perfect products. BOTTOM LINE: if you do your own framing you arent going to find a better wire. Dont go back to those uncoated wires

Wire is coated which is helpful. Used for hanging pictures.

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.

Except for the fact that, having written that it had been repackaged, the vendor sent a jumble, loose with broken spool pieces in a baggy, instead of a wound spool, once I got it untangled and stored for efficient access, it has been the perfect wire for my purposes. The plastic coating is a nice finish and allows me to work with it without hurting my hands.

Incredible value! I wasnt expecting the plasticine wrap around the wire.

Its great. Exactly what youll need.

Quick, quality, easy to tie, looks professional.

This is soooo much better than using the wire! It is soft and supple and very easy on the hands! Will be back for more when I run out! I am not worried about my customers getting poked with wire any longer!

This is an excellent product for hanging paintings and the do it yourself framer/artist. The plastic coating gives a quality appearence and will not scratch the frame or walls. The price is reasonable and the product comes with a diagram of how to tie the wire in a neat, professional manner. I highly recommend this product.

Great product. Used it for some canvas painting.
