Does this wire holds its shape? I need 1mm wire to make pushrods for my rc plane.

I purchased this wire hoping for something bendable like a paper clip. It was extremely stiff, and would probably work well as a push rod. The stuff was pretty inexpensive. Might be worth the $ to find out. Hope that helps.

This wire is used to make springs.It is wound around a mandrel. If it were heated to red hot and quenched in water or oil it would become very hard,stiff and brittle.

As a push-rod material, this wire is springy so it wiggles a bit over long distances (1 ft+), but you can solve any issues by guiding it through the plane with a tube or zip ties. You can bend it to shape but you will need 2 needle nose pliers to bend sharp angles with it. It's tricky to use z-bends on this sort of wires, because it is hard to bend. You really need linkage stoppers, forget right z bends for trimming.

Yup, its a little bit on the heavy side but I use it for all my planes that only need short pushrods. FT Bloody Wonder, FT 3D etc.

Yes, it will hold its shape. I made some 1" diameter spring out of it. Once you bend it to the shape you want, it will hold that new shape.

It is stranded wire so it has some degree of flexibility. Do not kink or make sharp bends with it and expect it not to break.

It's kind of flimsy. The wire is about the same thickness and sturdiness of a wire coat hanger. I guess that's the best guideline I can give you.

I think its the same size as 20 gauge wire, best bet is to look up a conversion chart online. It's very strong wire excelent for sculpting,sorry im not sure about jewelry use. It can withstand a lot of bending without breaking if that helps.

No, the wire is fairly stiff. I suppose you might be able to bend it with some force but it might break.

No its not. The casing is really thick but even it is not full 0 gauge. Its decent wire though. So far so good

I like the Phoenix Gold 12 ga. wire sold here on Amazon.Better off w/o connectors. Just wrap the bare wire around the post at least 1.5 turns.

absolutely, get strong wire cutters, this is not flimsy wire mesh, its great wire. marisa

Perhaps like only maybe 2 or 3.if it's 1 then you should be good.just try not to smoosh everything together in there or your wiremold might crack

I'm pretty sure it doesn't accept wire that thick. I had to reduce the wire to a thinner size.

They are wire and will bend, but stay bent once you do so. These are pretty small, but I find them very useful. I don't think they will hold up to a LOT of heavy scrubbing, though.

Yes, the clip is shaped wire rather than molded as part of the handle (like the original Dragonfly) or formed flat metal stock (like the Ambitious that I carry daily). I've found that this clip design, combined with the single screw rivet to hold it in place, allows the clip to slip from side to side and mine has actually bent too far to hold securely to my pocket. Because of this, I can't carry it, which is a shame because I prefer its size and design far more than the Ambitious.

The coated wire is .062" diameter (about 1/16 inch). As best I can mike the wire itself, the diameter is .042". Thus the coating is approx. .010" thick. The wire is composed of 7 individual strands, each .012" diameter. I estimate twist in the wire at 1.5 turns per inch.

I just clamped some .33mm (.013") magnet wire in one of the clamps, and it holds so tight you would break the wire before it pulled out!Mike

No problem for the wire to the holder. More important make sure you have the correct fuse for the rating of the wire.

This wire will not bend like a paperclip, it is much thicker and stronger than that.
