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.

Yes. This is what I use it for. Cut to length, put one end in a vice and twist about 3-4 twists per inch to straighten and work harden. This wire is good for pushrods up to about 8 inches without a sleeve.

I'm not sure. I purchased it thinking it was similar to paperclip wire. It wasn't. It is extremely stiff. I pitched it 2 minutes after opening it. I didn't try to bend it. I assume it would be difficult to do so. Like an electricians steel fish tape, it may snap trying to put such a sharp bend in it as a fish hook would require. But hey, for a few bucks, it's probably worth trying. Hope this helps.Tim R.

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

same size wire or gauge, 22 gauge, I believe in different colors. Suitable for low voltage electric parts and projects. it is solid wire, not twisted strands.

Hello, the smallest I was able to make was just over a 2mm, the next size was 3.5 and the largest 5mm. I realize the 2mm sounds small though I had purchased for a particular project. I was using 26 gauge wire and was wanting a tight loop. Also the pliers were rather heavy so it was bending the wire from the shear weight. But they are well made just too big and heavy for me. Unfortunately I do not use them. Hope this helps.

The wire is really thick and I had no problem with it cutting thick and dense styrofoam. One thing I like about the wire is you can shape it to your preferance and it keeps it. The only real problem I had, wasn't really that big of a deal, was keeping the arms tight enough.

Yes it works great for me, it works for almost everything,it doesn't work as well for the very small gauge wires.

without a doubt.hi-tensile too-one-handed.the spring really helps.this is the only cutter i use when working with paige wire(1348 and larger) where a lot of people use mini bolt cutters.regards,tom( pro fencer)

I would have to say 4 gauge at the max. I got a 0/1 gauge wire and had to cut a good bit just to get it to fit in. Mines still going strong good luck!(:

I've only used it straight. I expect you would have to go slow to preserve a shape over a lot of cuts because the wire is just that- not very rigid!

Yes, you could call it soft. I am using the wire (in a 3d printer) controlling moving parts. The constant flexing of the wire has not caused any problems.

The wire it came with is ok, but when I bought this same welder in 2013 I bought this wire: INETUB BA71TGS .035-Inch on 2-Pound Spool Carbon Steel Gasless Flux Cored Welding Wire This wire doesn't splatter as much as the wire that came with it. I am on my second roll and it works great!

It's fine wire bent in half...bigger than a needle head...smaller than a paper clip....I would say the size of the thread-end of a medium needle.

It will hold a shape. It would probably stand on its own but it will need supported. It is made out of wire.

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 bought this some time ago. I believe it was a softer wire, but I! not positive. I used it all tho.
