I think this should work. The gauge of wire these will cut depends on the material. I haven't worked with Kanthal wire, but for reference, the cutters work on 20 ga stainless but not 18 ga (1/2 hard, I think?) but will happily cut 18 ga aluminum.

That's an interesting question. I had never heard of "kanthal" wire previous to your question (I looked it up) so I can only tell you that it will cut 20,24 & 26 gauge COPPER wire just fine - if that information is of any use to you. Good Luck

I would buy a cutter designed for those harder than "Normal" types of wire you are needing to cut. Basically the cutters are intended for softer materials... Cutting a coat hanger is enough to nick the blades... The part you want will come from EREM and will cost considerably more than these cutters do. The pair I bought are good grade professional assembly / production cutters that I've used for a year now in more of a hobby type of use and I'd dearly miss them although these are what I'd have purchased for any of my past assembly personnel. They are very similar if not exactly like the Hunter line of tools that I used in 20 years of assembly supervision..RK Johnson Sr I would buy a cutter designed for those harder than "Normal" types of wire you are needing to cut.

I feel that they would be fine for what you are cutting. I have cut up to 14/12 stranded, but I wouldn't go much larger than that.
1472375
yes they will work fine for that. although if i were going with that small of a gauge then i would use micro-sheers, e.g as these - Xuron 410 Micro-Shear Flush Cutter

Hello Kurt and thanks for checking with us on the Moroso wire sets.I definitely think they'll work just fine for this, we had the wire lengths made up to cover these kind of applications.But here are the wire lengths if you'd like to double check...it never hurts!Moroso spark plug wire lengths.2 Wires - 54" ea.1 Wire - 52" ea.1 Wire - 47" ea.2 Wires - 40" ea.2 Wires - 36" ea.Also don't forget, this set/description is for HEI style caps (male), if you have the old socket style cap (female), not a problem, just let us know in an e-mail and we can change the boots & clips over from HEI to socket style - all the same price.Thanks again.Regards, Spud Spornitz - Kansas Automotive Specilaties Hello Kurt and thanks for checking with us on the Moroso wire sets.I definitely think they'll work just fine for this, we had the wire lengths made up to cover these kind of applications.But here are the wire lengths if you'd like to double check...it never hurts!Moroso spark plug wire lengths.2 Wires - 54" ea.1 Wire - 52" ea.1 Wire - 47" ea.2 Wires - 40" ea.2 Wires - 36" ea.Also don't forget, this set/description is for HEI style caps (male), if you have the old socket style cap (female), not a problem, just let... » Read More Hello Kurt and thanks for checking with us on the Moroso wire sets.I definitely think they'll work just fine for this, we had the wire lengths made up to cover these kind of applications.But here are the wire lengths if you'd like to double check...it never hurts!Moroso spark plug wire lengths.2 Wires - 54" ea.1 Wire - 52" ea.1 Wire - 47" ea.2 Wires - 40" ea.2 Wires - 36" ea.Also don't forget, this set/description is for HEI style caps (male), if you have the old socket style cap (female), not a problem, just let us know in an e-mail and we can change the boots & clips over from HEI to socket style - all the same price.Thanks again.Regards, Spud Spornitz - Kansas Automotive Specilaties « Show Less

Hey. I only have coil machines , but as far as I know tubes are standard and they should fit your machine. They're a good quality and smart purchase. They're tubes with needles in them already . Great buy. Only advice is that you choose the needle sizes you use most so you don't end up with a bunch you can't use and not enough of the others.

I have only used mine for 2 GA battery wire on my car and it did a great job so I don't see why it wouldn't do just as good a job for you. The die's that come with it are metric but it is easy to cross over. This is a great tool for the money and sure saves the hands from all the hard squeezing. Hope this helps. John

This is a 7-wire whisk. I don't know the gauge of the wire used but this whisk performs well in any medium I have tried. I use it for everything. It was recommended by America's Test Kitchen and does not disappoint. I use this whisk for batters, salad dressings, eggs, mashed potatoes. Anything that needs a whisk is easily handled. My whisk has been washed in the dishwasher hundreds of times. In fact, it is in the dishwasher every day because I use it every day. It comes out like brand new. OXO also makes a silicone version of this whisk. In my opinion, it is also excellent. OXO's customer service might be able to answer your question as to the wire's gauge. Their toll free number is (800)545-4411. This is a 7-wire whisk. I don't know the gauge of the wire used but this whisk performs well in any medium I have tried. I use it for everything.

We bought 6 of these and needed longer leads on 2 of them. So I cut and spliced 8' of wire on 2 of them making the leads 10' long on each. We tested the temps against the factor 4- and all 6 units were all winthin a 00.4 degree range. ( the spliced being .4 lower than the highest factory wire) It worked very good to splice them. It is important that the splices are soldered, not twisted or butt spliced

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!(:

don't know why but if you want to use something like more than 700watt i recommended you use both of them, because 1 wire might get hot and burn, i just dont know why they don't give 4 gauge wire with this unite.

I would go for a 140/100 for light work. This 260/200 gets hot real quick and a little too strong for wire gauge 18 - 24 and smaller.

Most of my cuts are on aluminum sheet or 1/8" aluminum extrusion - some galv sheet 16 to 20 gauge. I haven't stumbled onto the right blade yet for anything I cut. The first few cuts on alum or galv sheet steel are great (3 or 4 8' cuts). After that the blade burrs the edge a bit, enough that it must be cleaned up. I have cut stainless 16 gauge and ruined a blade almost immediately. These were all blades designed for what I was cutting. Hoping to find something better that leaves a clean cut and lasts a while.

I've used them with 16 and 18 gauge wire. They work well with both, but I ended up using 16 gauge for my setup.

In comparing the gauges, I think the only difference is that the V27 has stops at every 5 degrees, with stops at 22-1/2 degrees. I chose the V100 because of the stops at every degree as well as at 22-12 degrees (but not at 22 or 23 degrees). Both appear to be well made; the V27 appears to be more a bit more rugged, but less versatile. If I was to do it over, I'd probably buy the V27 because it will do most of the cuts I do.

I don't have any experience working with vapor wires, about all I know is they are blended alloys. These snips easily and cleanly will cut 20 -24 gauge aluminum or copper wires, I would feel comfortable using them to cut all the way up to 16 gauge. I also use them to cut .025" stainless steel safety wire. I don't believe they would get damaged cutting gplat

18 gauge wire is what we used and it works just perfect. Hope this helps you with your decision.

I am not positive of the wire i used since it was from a previous set. I would guess it was 12 gauge or heavier. The fixture clip did not receive it well. A smaller wire would have fit better. The wir4e is so large I am having some intermittent issues where I must wiggle the wire to have the light come on.

14 gauge is really better. I used 14 gauge and it works great. The longer wire runs should use bigger wire like 14.

They round the voltage in the description. It's the same 36 volt battery on other B&D; models so if you've already got one you don't really need another unless you want a spare (less expensive than purchasing separately) or need to do a lot of gardening at once. Look at the model # - 24 is the length, 36 is the voltage. Now if you are asking because you want to do something funky with the battery - I don't know the exact measured voltage. It is a good hedge cutter.
