T304-Stainless Steel 1/16'' Wire Rope,7X7 Strand Core (100Ft) Review

This is a high quality spool of vinyl covered steel cable. I got it because I am a licensed HAM radio operator and I will use it as a random length end-fed antenna. Steel cable is much better than copper for long radio antennas because it is much stronger and less prone to breaking or stretching.The bonus "gift" items are crimp connectors for making loops in the cable. I have a squirrel-proof bird feeder that works well but rain water travels down the supporting cable and spoils the feed. I…

Since garden lights cannot support their own way to not stretch I picked this up to run in our social area around the fire pit. They worked absolutely great. I used a stainless washer at the end of the loop to run into a lag so I can attach it to the tree and retention as necessary. The amount of weight it can hold was perfect and it didn't sag at all once I had it tensioned.It was a little tough to cut it, I tried several wire cutters as well as tin snips and they all had a hard time.

I've been using this for hanging paintings and stuff on the wall. It's been super easy. Cut to length, slip on the sleeve, and bang with a hammer. I find the hammer easier to use than the crimper.The cable itself seems to be about the same quality as the 1/16" cable available at the big box home improvement store. The spool it came on is sweet. I'm saving that spool for some kind of reuse.

I needed to replace a rubber cord that was used to hold together wooden slats in a garden walkway. The rubber was broken in multiple places. It was easy to thread the wire through the slats and it seems to be strong enough to not break after a few years like the rubber cord. I used the supplied crimp things to secure the ends.

Eventually I'll need more crimping tubes but this is great wire and I'm using it for displaying my paintings at art festivals.
