Great Strings, period
Classic string, warm with snap, good life and they don't cost an arm and a leg. My go-to strings for my maple boarded single coiled Strats. Love this strings.

I've played close to everything and these strings are at about 95/100.
I'd say my favorite strings for my kind of Blues / Rock playing are Gabriel Tenorio's 9x48 ALL NICKEL (like Josh Smith plays in 18's or something only LIGHTER!). After that, I'm a fan of Curt Mangan 9-48 and then D'Addario NYXL0942 NYXL Nickel Wound 009-.042. I've never warmed up to Boomers but of course, a ton of great players love them. Elixir Nanowebs are fine, and I really liked Stringjoys, especially your right to really mix and match and to get a wound or not "g" string, but if you buy a 3 pack or bigger, you'll find it frustrating because once you open that 3 pack, none of the 3 string packs have gauges on them (I called the guys and asked about that and bizarrely got a stupid run around that took me off their list). Of course, Ernie Balls are magic, I prefer the 9’s and think they’re the Super Slinky’s, they say everybody uses them, but my favorite strings- the Gabe Tenorios- are pricey as hell ($24 for the nickel purist- I know, compared to all the rest of the gear it's pretty insignifican BUT) so I'd highly recommend using these Fender Pure Nickel wound ROUND CORE strings as their best substitute. They’re pure nickel and round core, just like they all were when Jimmy Page and Keith Richards, David Gilmore, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck were learning to play. Get them Tenorios when you go platinum! PS make sure you know how to STRING round core strings so they won't slide around inside their windings and tension adjust by themselves.

Cheap strings that sound good
These strings are pretty OK, they hold a tune well and feel good under my fingers. I got 10-46s and as I was stringing up, I noticed some light tarnishing on the A and D strings. This was somewhat disappointing. Even though they are pure nickel and are more likely to tarnish, it was kind of shocking to see some tarnish that normally won’t show until after a few weeks of playing. Just something to note

Pure nickel is where the tone is at
We geetarists are a funny bunch: we'll change out pots and caps and pups from our axes and amps all day long, and spend a fortune doing it. But sometimes we could make more tonal difference by just spending five bucks!Case in point: pure nickel strings. Time was when that was all there was...and gee whiz, that was a time when good guitar tone ruled. Coincidence? Nope. These things just sound better, if by better you mean warmer and with a subtle feel that your fingers will convey to your brain in milliseconds. If you're used to wrapped strings, and you like to play blues or classic rock or pretty much anything but metal, these might be all you need to make your rig sound a whole lot sweeter and smoother and just more musical in general. Especially if you use tubes.Tubes and pure nickel are like Gilmour and Strats or Angus and SGs. They just fit.I'm not nuts about Fender acoustic strings, but I like their normal electric strings fine, though Ernie Ball Slinkies have been my go-tos for many years. But these Fender pure nickels are very very nice, and at 4.75, they're a real deal. Most pure nickels run nearer to ten, and these sound pretty much the same, and I don't seem to break many of 'em neither. If you're used to mixed alloy, pure nickels might seem a little "dull", but wait a bit and you'll find that the harmonics are still there when the alloys have faded. Plus the feel is just smoother and nicer under the fingertips. Try a set and see what I mean. It's subtle but it's beautiful.But the main reason I love these is for playing at VOLUME! I turned my modded Hot Rod Deluxe up to call-the-cops levels (the neighbors are getting used to it by now), louder than the drummer by a good chunk, and I got: less squealing, warmer tone by far, and full chords, triads and double stops that felt and sounded smoother and grinded with more harmonic warmth than any alloy string I've ever used. I think there's an electrical cohesion between pure nickel and good pups and tubes that is simply sublime. Check out BB's tone on the legendary Live At The Regal to hear what I mean. That's the stuff.So, if you haven't tried pure nickels, spend a buck or two more (or maybe less!) than you normally do and give these bargain-priced nickels a try. You might find that you're a convert within seconds. I know that my ears sure love them when things are really cranked up; those Zep and Jimi riffs just sound and feel so much more right with pure nickel. And digging into some Otis Rush or Billy Gibbons licks is like night and day. The bluesy stuff just begs for pure nickels.Hell of a bargain at less than five bucks.

Seem to be as good as the Ernie Balls. They’re a little cheaper. Don’t buy them from Temu!!!

They make my Strat snarl and ring.

Tone is a Personal Thing
These strings get a 5-star for my purpose. I use these on a CBG with a humbucker............I like the tone, and they have average durability.
