Problems with hanging pictures

This set comes with detailed instructions for use. However, I have not used the wire hanging system in the past and it was difficult to set up. The wire cannot be wrapped on the back of the picture; it must be clamped with the supplied small clamps. I have two problems with this part of the system. First I had a pair of sharp wire cutters that quickly became dull as I worked on preparing some images. The wire was also worn out so I had bits of the layer peeling off the wire and getting stuck in my fingers. Be careful, when you cut that wire because some of those pieces end up on your work surfaces and on the floor below you (and you don't want to get kicked in the foot by stepping on a piece of wire). Second, the wire needs to be fed through the tiny terminals before you can straighten them to secure the wire. This was the most time consuming part of the process as the holes in the clamps require passing two strands of wire and the wire untangles very easily. Because of this, the clamps were very difficult to thread, and once the wire was secured through the clamps, it could not be disengaged. If the picture hung too low or too high due to the wire, the wire had to be completely re-threaded. You cannot unwind the wire to adjust the slope of the picture. Of the 60 pieces in this set, I used less than half, so I'll try to use it. I hope I can find another use for the wire. But I will use D-rings. They worked fine.
