I will still use this, but it is not 12 gauge which is 2mm thick. It is 10 gauge which is about 2.5mm thick.

It is great wire gauge for mobile making. Will need a very strong wire cutter tool to go with it.

I have used this 12 gauge wire to fix a chain link fence, and also to fix a chain link door. (Addicts tried to break into the property.)The wire is extremely strong, yet flexible to wrap around as needed.Takes some strength to cue the wire, but if done properly, it is extremely tight and strong

Very sturdy, held itself up well.Made a set of fairy wings with this, cellophane, spray Adhesive and some heat. I wish I could find the pictures, if I do and can edit this I will add.

I needed about 40 of those "hidden wire" shelving clips for upgrading the bookcases at my house. I could not find them anywhere, so I decided to make them myself. This wire fit the bill perfectly. Picture shows original on top and homemade unit on bottom.The wire is 12 Gauge in Standard Wire Gauge, not 12 Gauge in American Wire Gauge. This means it measures out at .102 inches, or 2.59mm (between 3/32nd and 7/64th), Close to 10 Gauge in AWG (Thanks to C. MacPhail's review for posting the specs). According to Google, this means it can most likely support 1200 lbs, but I would do some testing before relying on it to that degree.I had to straighten the wire by using an electric drill and a vice (Thanks YouTube!)Then I fashioned a "bending jig" out of some scrap wood and bolts (Thanks Instructables!)After a few failed attempts, I got everything dialed in and completed the wires.Also, I just searched Amazon again, and someone NOW has the correct sized wires for sale...figures.https://www.amazon.com/Platte-River-12-pack-Hardware-Support/dp/B008R9KSM6Search for "stealth" or "hidden in shelf" support wires. The prices seem kind of high, so if you have the tools at home to make them yourself, it might still be a viable option to make them yourself.

This is a good deal for 100 feet of wire, but be sure you consider what you're trying to hang or repair with it. I bought this wire for hanging large canvas pictures (3'x6" +) and while it works, I think it may be a little too much for everyday household craft and indoor hanging projects unless you're talking museum size and weight pictures/objects.It's made of steel and rather thick at 12 gauge, so unlike aluminum wire of the same gauge, it was quite difficult to cut with my household wire cutters and remained quite stiff when looping and winding it around itself on the backs of the stretched canvases. It did the job, but I could have easily used a smaller gauge or lighter material for my projects and probably received better hanging results. (Copper or aluminum would have twisted and bent more easily)Remember all the factors when choosing wire; gauge, weight of object being suspended, material of wire, pliability etc. when making your choice. (The higher the wire gauge number the thinner the wire; therefore, the less weight it will hold and aluminum and copper are softer than steel, so will hold less but /bend/stretch more easily.) I know that OOK 16 gauge galvanized steel wire is rated to hold up to 55 pounds and 19 gauge will hold up to 35 pounds, so this 12 gauge will probably hold about 75 pounds. Also remember to take into consideration the hardware that this wire will be attaching to. If you're sticking a 75 pound object to a wall on a basic nail, the wire may hold, but the nail may break. In addition, drywall will hold much less firmly than hardwood, so use a stud finder if possible to locate the solid wood behind the wall to drill/nail into.I would recommend this wire for hanging very heavy objects like large mirrors, mailboxes, potted plants etc. My canvas weighs approx. 20 lbs. each and one length of this wire could probably support about 3 or 4 of them all together easily.
