Strong with cases

First I was looking for a wire to hang pictures. I have a framed canvas that is 120cm x 120cm (about 4ft x 4ft) and it weighs 18 pounds. This wire is overkill for this purpose, but I didn't immediately compare the rated weight to the flexibility of the wire. It seems that aluminum grommets are required for this wire as it is not possible to create a knot against itself. The wire isn't flexible enough to bend and twist a lot, and stainless steel resists those movements, especially at this gauge. With pliers-crimped aluminum sleeves, this wire is definitely suitable for heavy objects. For lighter items, say up to 20 or 30 pounds, it is better use a wire with a smaller diameter. Now I have to think about heavy things to hang, like mirrors or pictures with a lot of glass. This wire seems very strong and suitable for the purpose. I put white tape on the spool and noted the diameter and weight since the spool arrived unlabeled.
