Never Using Uncoated Hanging Wire Again

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2024

Style: Retail SpoolSize: Size #4, 25 lb / 11 kgColor: StainlessVerified Purchase

This was my first time using coated hanging wire for framing projects after hearing good things from others and this stuff is great! The coating makes it much more comfortable to work with and it also provides a much more quality finish which I appreciate. My only regret was only getting a small spool of it to test, I will be ordering more.

Excellent Product, Durable & Easy To Use

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2023

Style: Retail SpoolSize: Size #4, 25 lb / 11 kgColor: StainlessVerified Purchase

I couldn’t find picture hanging wire of this quality in any big box store, harder to find than it should be. This wire is rust resistant because it is composed of twisted stainless steel strands covered in clear vinyl. Usually stainless wire resists being malleable, so it is usually a real b*tch to bend/twist, & can even perforate or cut fingers. Not this wire, it can bend & twist while still having the corrosion resistant properties of stainless steel. Highly recommend, especially if you live near the ocean and/or want your picture hanging to last.

I had used two sections of this product on 2 separate paintings and I am happy with its build quality and ease of use (twisting it into position). I suspect it should last a long long time but only time will tell. I am
going to use this wire to replace all my old non-coated wires.

Love the Wire; Hate the Packing...:(

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2016

Style: Shop SpoolSize: Size #5, 43 lb / 20 kgColor: StainlessVerified Purchase

This is the absolute best wire for hanging art unless you have REALLY heavy pictures. The plastic coating keeps you and the buyer from cutting your fingers from those pesky little tiny wires twisted in those other kinds of hanging wires that you can never quite crimp all the way when you cut them. This spool even comes with very clear photographs as to how to bend this wire back on itself so that it won't come undone, for those of us artists who never quite mastered the surgeon's knot necessary to secure traditional framer's wire. I, however, was very disappointed in the packing job, as this spool comes with two holes along the edge so that you can twist the cut end back into them. My spool came broken on both sides because of the packing job...:( The wire isn't going to unravel like a spool of thread, as the wire is stiff, but that's why I only gave this product 4 stars instead of the 5 stars it deserves. Come on guys in the packing department.... get your act(s) together!

The Hanging Wire Artists Use to Hang Their Artwork

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2024

Style: Shop SpoolSize: Size #5, 43 lb / 20 kgColor: StainlessVerified Purchase

Experienced artists who do a lot of shows recommended this hanging wire to me when I started showing my own paintings. The vinyl-coat makes it so much easier on your fingers when you are wiring the back of your paintings. I use Size #6 60 lb/27 kg spool. It's very strong and doesn't rust. Note: If the your drop the spool, the spool will crack and break off but it's still usable. I can't find this brand in my local big box home improvement stores so this is on my Amazon Favorites List.
