Hard draw copper wire is very tough and robust. I use 18g lamp safety wire. This is the thin copper wire that servers as a safety ground and as a safety wire in case a link in the lamp chain breaks in hanging chandeliers. |

I have 50' of thin braided copper wire from Home Depot that's been under constant tension for 6 years 9 months. Enough tension to deflect the top of a 20' support (two fence rails, a spike base and a building clamp at 9') 2 to 3 inches. |

Would be a real deal if you would keep the cheap STEEL plastic coated wire
and just offer the insulators alone.....I like the wire ties you have on the wire....made for tying reinforcment steel in concrete.....so is the cheap antenna wire you offer with the insulators. a BAAAAAAAD deal!

Like the stainless steel messenger wire used in figure-8 CATV drops? It has a plastic jacket and is made to support more than its own weight for years. 100 foot drops of RG59 or RG6 are common and the messenger wire will peel away from the coax. I had several thousand feet of it, but my retired dad found my stash and has used all of it for his yard and garden projects. The only bad thing is trying to solder to it, but a clamp and N0-OX will take care of that. -- Former professional electron wrangler. Michael A. Terrell Central Florida |

I can't believe that No one reads anymore?
The wire is Hard Drawn Copper, not plastic coated or Copper clad! Someone got a nice deal for $9.99, went to Canada where maybe they have other things to do but complain:-) "Beau" wrote in message ...
