Review on ๐Ÿ”— OOK 534692 50174 Framers Hanging Wire - Supports up to 50 lbs - 1 Pack - Stainless Steel by Nicole Mcleod

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Expensive but seems durable

You only get a tiny 9ft wire but I think it's better to be safe than sorry and go with a reliable brand. It's the same brand you can buy at Home Depot, so it's not a sketchy brand that overpromises and delivers less. Product description. I mean you need to go online and either watch youtube videos or find a chart on how to tie the knot. It's not difficult, but you can't just spin it like a bread tape and that's it. You need to tie a knot for the wire to hold properly. Also, don't think that 50 pounds of wire alone is good enough. They should have D-rings or hooks appropriate for what you are hanging. If you hang a 50lb mirror on 50lb wire but only have tiny anemic grommet hooks, these suction cups will bend, snap, or snap right out of your frame even if you use wood glue. To complicate things further, look for information on how to hang wire from 1 nail/screw, not 2 nails/screws. The problem is that 50 pounds of weight concentrated on a wall nail becomes more like 75 pounds of tension (or something like that). Can you twist this wire with just your fingers? Yes, that's good news if you're afraid of tools. But it can also be easily manipulated with thin-headed pliers or almost any kind. I just used my fucking pliers. Finally, remember that 9ft is really only enough for 1-2 items, especially if you tend to be clutter-free. I looked at other brands of Revain wire that offered much longer lengths for the same amount of money, but ended up with a brand I could trust rather than foreign (maybe one day) brands.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No breaker
