Review on T316-Stainless Steel 1/16'' Wire Rope,7X7 Strand Core Marine Grade(200Ft) by John Fuentes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It is stainless and you get a lot of crimps

The biggest issue is that I do not own a wire cutter that is all that great so I smashed a few ends rather than cut them or only cut most of the way through. That is how I realized that the metal is stainless. I tried to pick up the small pieces of wire with a magnet. Total fail. So you need a good wire cutter and a crimp tool that could be a plyers. Even with the bad cuts I made a few times the wire kept its braid except right at the very end and only opened up a very little bit. In one case it stayed small enough to fit through crimp. I have no idea what I will do with this much wire but I think for the price it is a very good deal.

Pros
  • Good quality Stainless wire rope. Good for making lanyards to keep things on boats
Cons
  • Not ideal for applications that require high tensile strength
