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

I purchased this wire hoping for something bendable like a paper clip. It was extremely stiff, and would probably work well as a push rod. The stuff was pretty inexpensive. Might be worth the $ to find out. Hope that helps.

This wire is used to make springs.It is wound around a mandrel. If it were heated to red hot and quenched in water or oil it would become very hard,stiff and brittle.

As a push-rod material, this wire is springy so it wiggles a bit over long distances (1 ft+), but you can solve any issues by guiding it through the plane with a tube or zip ties. You can bend it to shape but you will need 2 needle nose pliers to bend sharp angles with it. It's tricky to use z-bends on this sort of wires, because it is hard to bend. You really need linkage stoppers, forget right z bends for trimming.

Yup, its a little bit on the heavy side but I use it for all my planes that only need short pushrods. FT Bloody Wonder, FT 3D etc.

Yes, it will hold its shape. I made some 1" diameter spring out of it. Once you bend it to the shape you want, it will hold that new shape.

It will hold a shape. It would probably stand on its own but it will need supported. It is made out of wire.

They are made of strong rubber that holds it's shape, but could also be stretched to hold a large wire. Nice quality!

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.

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

This isn't paperclip wire, or anything like it. It takes a bend and wants to stay there. You can bend it with your hands, but I'd suggest a pair of pliers, needle nose if you want a tight bend. It will also provide much more rigidity than paperclip wire.

I used the wire to stiffen a 7 foot deer fence around our property. I used aluminum crimping sleeves once I had looped the wire around each of the fence poles. I used a crimping tool that you can buy on Amazon to squeeze the sleeves. I think they are just saying that they do not rate the wire to hold any significant weight overhead. I would imagine a 1/16 wire could fatigue. Just a guess as it was not applicable for my application.

I do not believe it is wire but yes it pops up into shape and stays... its very durable too

Hello Kevin, No..... this cable is heavy duty! It's great for certain jobs but the the loops would not pinch together small enough to fit through 1 1/4 inch. the cable was much larger than I was expecting (even though I did the mm to inch conversion :-)Chris

I use a relatively low gauge but am out of town so can't say accurately. Mine is NOT the heavy "round" wire.

I just clamped some .33mm (.013") magnet wire in one of the clamps, and it holds so tight you would break the wire before it pulled out!Mike

I don't know. It's a very flexible, soft wire used for making flexible body parts for cloth dolls. It is also kind of channeled and not very pretty. I personally would go for a heavy jewelers wire. Possibly Zebra wire. It comes in a variety of colors and can be easily shaped.

The coated wire is .062" diameter (about 1/16 inch). As best I can mike the wire itself, the diameter is .042". Thus the coating is approx. .010" thick. The wire is composed of 7 individual strands, each .012" diameter. I estimate twist in the wire at 1.5 turns per inch.

I used this wire for an electronic dog fence. It is buried in my yard and has not been harmed by any of the elements.

I like the Phoenix Gold 12 ga. wire sold here on Amazon. Better off w/o connectors. Just wrap the bare wire around the post at least 1.5 turns.

Hi Nick. I have not seen connectors like this given a size (#8 or #10) so cant answer your question in the format you asked. It it helps, I looked at the strip and you could get anything from a solid or a stranded 12g to 22g wire into the hole though would probably tin the light duty stuff before putting it in so it had better stiffness and firm grip.

Hi. It would take some pretty precise calipers to measure the thickness of this wire. It's about as thick as dental floss. And it works pretty well. Just do the knot like they tell you in the package and you'll be fine. Hope this helps.
