Does this wire holds its shape? I need 1mm or .037in wire to make pushrods for my rc plane

Yes, in it's default state it is very stiff. You may actually have trouble getting it straight enough for making pushrods because of the natural curve of the wire its packaging. Since the wire is high carbon steel, it should respond well to annealing and re-hardening if you are willing to put that much work into it.

Don't know, haven't tried to do that. My guess is that it should provided they are not real long

High Carbon Steel Wire, #2B (Smooth) Finish, Full Hard Temper, ASTM A228, 0.037" Diameter, 68' Length, Precision ToleranceThis is Precision Steel brand and VERY good USA quality. This link above is the plain music wire size You need. This is a VERY good quality wire and is one that supplies to a number of famous guitar and bass string companies in bulk to manufacture electric strings for those instruments.

Yes. This is what I use it for. Cut to length, put one end in a vice and twist about 3-4 twists per inch to straighten and work harden. This wire is good for pushrods up to about 8 inches without a sleeve.

Works just fine on mine. it's just a wire splice, so as long as your wire gauge isn't too big, you'll be fine. And I think I have 14 gauge wire, the biggest there generally is.

same size wire or gauge, 22 gauge, I believe in different colors. Suitable for low voltage electric parts and projects. it is solid wire, not twisted strands.

Yes, I have soldered this wire. I have also used it for artistic soldering on my stone wraps. Just make sure it is clean and use flux.

might get a 1in at best. better off buying coil blocks to stuff in there. good luck

I bought this some time ago. I believe it was a softer wire, but I! not positive. I used it all tho.

It's like a strong thick thread. That's the best I can describe it, I don't there is anything small enough to measure the size of the wire.

worked great for me and my wire was not coated --- probably doesn't matter. Make sure your wire size and anchor size match.

Its really small wire. Probably 24g. I had a really hard time splicing it. But if you strip about 2 to 3 times more than you need you can just did the wire to make it thicker

I had to trim a few strands from the 12 gauge wire and tin the rest to get it to fit snugly and safely. certainly possible and feels solid, just make sure that when inserting the wire you don't leave any lose strands that can short across the terminals if you have trouble getting the full 12 gauge in. I have used them for 2A connections, but feel that is pushing things. If you want a good solid high current DC connector for a project, I highly recommend the open XT60 design. Note: Just looked up specs for the EIAJ connector, which is a standardized version of this barrel connector built to higher tolerances and they specify a 2A limit. So this connector would be 2A at most, likely less though due to it not being true EIAJ and a no name brand.

I have a roll of this wire. When put up next to a tape measure, it looks to be about as close to 1/16" as possible (about 1.5 millimeters). David VA

to tell u the truth idk but it is pretty strong.i dont use mine anymore but i used to put all three of my roughyens in it.i think it may be a very well wrapped wire i loved it.mine are grown now and i no longer use it but its still in perfect shape.k.arebear71@yahoo.com

It comes with 20 guage solid core wire as I recall, but will work with any size wire. I think that 16 to 18 gauge wire would be more durable.

It's a long piece, rolled into a cylinder, and the wire is not very stiff, so you may have trouble sticking it into hard soil. I ended up buying a few of the "Origin Point 052410 Gard'n Border Round Folding Fence", which is a stiffer wire and divided into several pieces.

Not sure of the wire size but it's plenty for a 12V system. The terminal holes are good for 1/4" or 5/16" posts.

The wire is really thick and I had no problem with it cutting thick and dense styrofoam. One thing I like about the wire is you can shape it to your preferance and it keeps it. The only real problem I had, wasn't really that big of a deal, was keeping the arms tight enough.

you can use argon and ..030 wire would be a good choice and the gun does come with both .030 and .035 contact tips..035 wire might be better for the 1/4"
