Slips under weight, good for picture hangers

Doesn't work as the stainless wire is too smooth to hold the wrap. Went with a much thicker braided wire for my Big Sur Photography prints.

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Annoying

What I needed best in picture hangers

I am a professional photographer and I frame my prints for galleries and clients. This picture wire is perfect. Coated wire is generally a problem - not enough grip to easily hold pictures in galleries. I prefer this uncoated wire.

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
  • Contact seller

Excellent Wire

Didn't know how much wire I got, 550 feet, what a bargain! In addition, it is compact and quite durable. I wouldn't use #5 for heavy paintings, but it's a great choice for light/medium work.

Pros
  • Made in the USA and designed to hold its strength not rust or discolor
Cons
  • Crumpled

Just what I needed

Great purchase. Very strong and easy to use. will accompany me for a lifetime. I have lots of photos and plan to replace some poor quality strings with this wire. The thickness of the thread is enough to hang almost any picture, even if the frame is heavy. I absolutely love my painting.

Pros
  • High strength 304 stainless steel, corrosion resistant Maximum hanging weight 40 lbs (18.1 kg)
Cons
  • No instructions
