Craftwire USA Solid Bare Copper Wire Round,Bright,Half Hard,5 OZ 12 Gauge,18 Feet (Choose 10 to 30 ga.)

I definitely go to Craftwire to get high quality wire. It is easy to work with and looks great with beads! Awesome for small businesses.

Good quality. Using this for my Copper grounding gardening. Working great!

I bought this wire to make hook loops for Christmas ornaments I made on my wood lathe, and it is perfect. I wondered if it would be too stiff, but it is the perfect level of rigidity for bending into tue U shape I need! It may be to stiff for the wire wrapping that some people do, but for the simple bend you see in my photo it could not be more perfect!

Bought this for wire weaving. It has some large sections along the spool where the wire is thinner and weak, so it keeps breaking off halfway through my projects. Very disappointing. Maybe I just received a bad spool? Its the first time purchasing 26g wire here.

I use this for attaching to my desk to create a place to hang my headphones, toilet paper roll, bug swatter, needle-nose pliers (to help with bending the copper) and copper spool. Generally quite useful. Can also double/triple/etc. the copper and twist together for extra strength.

be careful with your pliers, it will dent, but is beautiful

This is more like extremely hard wire. Definitely not dead soft. Got a refund.

WARNING: This is BARE copper wire, which means to the uninitiated that it will patina in a short amount of time. The patina (oxidation) turns this wire into a gorgeous brown color--one of two reasons I recommend--but beware! The weathering, or patina, can irritate your skin and cause contact dermatitis, a nasty red blotching and dotting that itches and spreads. Hydrocortisone will clear it up, and you can just use clear nail polish to cover up the part which touches your skin the most. The other reason I recommend this wire? Sturdy as hell. Not as sturdy as, oh say, 12 or 14 gauge copper, but this is also half-hard, which makes this my go-to wire for when I need wire sturdy enough to make hair pins, hoop earrings, etc. and other jewelry which requires stiff but malleaby wire. The companys 18 gauge half hard is also a great buy. For silver plated copper wire at 16 or 18 gauge, I recommend German style silver plated wire. Theres less of the German wire and more expensive, but its a sturdy alternative to bare copper, or if you prefer silver color. Did I mention that the package came in faster than expected?

I like the color and strength of the wire. Works great for the project Im using it for.

Like the way it bends and the way it hammers out.
