    12 gauge is the size of the wire it is larger the 14 gauge and smaller then 10 gauge, it is a single strand of wire, that has no coating on it(plastic or paint). In electrical use this bare wire does not carry any electrical current. Home depot does have heaver wire that you can use to make the bicycles wheels sizes 6 and 4 bare copper wire. All Electrical wire is 99% pure copper.

    Go with the solid wire. You will need clips to attach each piece of coping to the bond wire. It is flexible enough that it will not break when installing the bond wire.

    March 13, 2020
    This product was as described. It is 6-gauge solid copper wire. 50 feet. It behaved as all bare, solid copper wire has for me, so it was in fact 6-gauge solid copper wire. I was (and am) happy with this purchase. The price was acceptable. The delivery time-line was acceptable. When I picked it up at the store, the clerk was knowledgeable and friendly. Everything was fine. I ran this wire between the newly-installed subpanel and the original main panel. (The feeder cable was only 3-conductor, which was according to code back in the day.) Everything went swimmingly with the installation. I am a happy camper.

    The wire was just as expected and with it being available by the foot, it is convenient to purchase when needed. I use this for craft projects rather than electrical applications and am very happy with its quality and value.
