Use it to find splinters of metal in your hand

Excellent material, enamel holds up well. The bobbin can become tangled if you pull it too hard while winding. Take care and you will be happy. I wrapped this wire around a cardboard tube in tight turns and glued it in place. By hooking it up to my stereo's subwoofer wires, I was able to increase the output, and as I walked over the metal splinters in my skin, the fluctuating magnetic field allowed me to feel where they were so they could be removed. I'm happy!
