    Q:Can I use this to make wire carabiners? and will it hold its shape with some slight pressure?
    by|Jul 31, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Hello, This item has a 50 lb. weight rating and is stable for bending into shapes. This is mainly intended as a hobby wire for springs and wire sculptures as this is high carbon steel wire. It has not been tested as a carabiner wire so we have no way of knowing for certain if it will be ideal for your intended use. Thank you for your inquiry.

      Q:Is this really music wire? Which gauge is it? Or... what diameter is it, to the thou? Is it really full hard temper as music wire should be for making springs and stringing musical instruments?

      Answer This Question

      A:  Hi, This is a Hi-Carbon steel wire and it's diameter is .035. We sell it more as a Hobby wire as people tend to do springs and wire sculptures. It could be used for instrumentation but we have only 1 size and no copper endings available for the higher scale notes on a Piano. Thank you for your inquiry!

                  Strong and stays bent. Fashioned a clip from this to hold Subaru front fender to bumper wrap.

                  Needed to hang a 50 lb. mirror and couldn't take any chances. This is very stiff wire and I used 2 pairs of pliers to form the ends. I'm sure this will hold the mirror and then some.

                  wrong kind of wire for what I needed. To hard to work with, needed to twist it.
