304 Stainless Steel Wire Rope, Black Vinyl Coated, Outdoor Light Guide Wire, Suitable for String Lights, Clotheslines, 1/25 Inch Overmolded to 1/16 Inch 100ft

This wire matched the description and product images, and it measured out to slightly over the length that I ordered, which is a nice bonus. I appreciate the steel crimps that come with it to help you attach it to itself in case you need to cut it for your use case.The only complaint I have is a minor one: I'd like to see a clamp of some kind incorporated into the spool to hold the cable, because it can unravel itself rapidly if you aren't holding onto it. I don't believe this would be much of a problem at a larger wire gauge, though.Personally, I'll be using this wire to help prop up and cage off some tomato and pepper plants that have been growing a bit wild; if you want a more heavy-duty gauge than the size I got, but this will be more than sufficient for my needs.I wasn't able to comprehensively test its tensile strength or rust resistance of the internal steel wire, but I wasn't able to break it by hand, and I believe it will last for multiple years. I'll update this review if the wire develops any issues, but I don't expect there to be any problems with it.My personal pledge as a reviewer: I only select items that I personally intend to use myself on a regular and continued basis. I always give my full, honest, unbiased and unfiltered opinion on everything I review. I will not mince words. I write exactly what I think about a product - the good, the bad, the ugly, and the questionable. And, I will update my review if a product breaks, stops working as intended, or otherwise doesn't hold up as expected.

We have a screen hiuse that has a canvas cover. The wind is brutal and it blows it away. We used this cable to secure it to the frame of the housing and it has worked well. For less that $15 the value is good. It is easy to use. Mist cable cutters will be able to cut this with ease because it is thin but still strong enough to hold up to gusty winds.

I use this coated wire rope to support camping tent rain-flies, as guy-wire for an awning over my camping van, to string camp lights, and I use it with a pulley to lower pond cleaning / aeration equipment into bodies of water. It is very smooth and very strong, always reliable. Using anything larger would be overkill, more expensive and harder to stow. I highly recommend this size and this brand.

I used this to hang string lights in a gazebo. It isn't heavy duty, but I wasn't looking for anything like that. It merely needed to help hold the lights up. Worked perfectly for it's intended purpose.

Versatile wire that I plan to use for a cable railing fence. It’s strong and durable and could be used for a variety of things gs that require stainless steel wiring.The coating is nice and thick, should hold up well in humid Texas.

I ordered this to use as trellis wire for my blackberries, but, it really isn't strong enough for that. I may be able to make use of it on plants with lighter loads, like clematis, or for making trellis that is applied to the wall with many attachments. Although, anything coated in vinyl has a limited life in the sun. The advertising photos should reflect actual uses for products. But, here they mislead.

I can’t measure the vinyl cover separate from the wire as a whole, but I can measure the wire as a whole with my digital calipers. Mine is supposed to be 3/80ths. If anything, it’s slightly larger than that. It does appear to be made of 7 strands, though my eye can not tell if each of those 7 strands has 7 more strands. I did not check the length for the obvious reasons.I would not call this railing wire. I think everyone would find it far, far too narrow for that. It is designed so it doesn’t naturally kink (unlike copper wire such as used for electric lines). I’m going to use mine for raspberry support, and it’ll work okay for that. Just note that the pictures represent this stuff as being for railing and the pictures used in the listing are quite deceptive to that point. This wire is much, much, thinner than the pictures suggest, even if the measurements are correct. The pictures are obviously of either dollhouse railings or faked completely. For that, I reduce a star.

I got this thinking it was a larger gauge for some reason, but it's actually quite small. It's hard to tell though as there are like five different numbers listed and I don't really understand what they mean. If you're similarly confused, the thickness of this is about the same as the end of a shoelace. Maybe a hair thicker. It's also a really small roll. It's about the size of a small canned good.Aside from the difficulty understanding the size though, the product itself is fine. I wanted to use it to secure some canvas in an outdoor space and it worked just fine. I wouldn't use it for very heavy duty projects where there's a ton of weight or stress on the cable, but for securing lighter items or as wire railing, I'm sure it's fine. I appreciate it comes with aluminum crimps as well, which saves me having to get them separately.Good product. Just make sure the gauge and length fit your needs.
