SuperSoftstrand 500-Feet Picture Wire Vinyl Coated Stranded Stainless Steel

This was the first time I have ordered this picture wire and I am so glad I did. I recently had many paintings I needed to put hangers on for a show, and this wire was so easy to work with compared to uncoated wires. I highly recommend this picture wire.

This wire has made a big difference in my framing presentations. It’s far better than the non-coated wire I had been using and looks more professional. Will keep using for all my framed prints.

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!

This is my third time to order and returned twice now because it is delivered with broken plastic reel that holds the wire, causing the wire to fall off the reel. Disappointed because I can’t get it delivered in one piece. But the wire product is great.

I typically use uncoated wire to hang paintings, but this is much better and I can hang smaller framed paintings and large canvases without worrying about being stuck by a loose wire.

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.

Safe and soft for hands

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’ve used this product for well over 10 years on my professional art. It is durable, easy to use, leaves a very clean look, and doesn’t tear up my hands. I have hung large framed watercolors with glass and fill it using this wire, up to 48 x 48“ pieces. I have repeatedly purchased spools of this wire
