i really should have read the reviews on this before purchasing, usually i do but i figured its 14 gauge, and 14 gauge is 14 gauge, but this did not feel or look like 14 gauge to me, i bought 16 gauge at best buy that seemed way better then this, i ended up getting some 14 gauge at home depot for $25 100' and love it. and also it does not look anything like the photo.
