What type wires will I need for different metals? And what size spools can I use? Can I just get 10lb spools?

welding wire spools describe the metal(s) they are compatible with and welding supply stores have someone who can tell you the wire you need if YOU tell them what metal you are working. the "size' of the spool is up to you but.....the main concern may be the "size" (diameter) of the opening in the center of the spool so it will mount and fit in the Handler.

The Handler 190 is capable of running the following wires: 0.023 - 0.035 in. mild steel or stainless steel, 0.030 - 0.045 in. flux-cored, and 0.030 - 0.035 in. aluminum. It's capable of handling 4" or 8" spools.

Depends upon what you wish to weld. For mild steel, i.e. A36 (hot rolled stuff you might findat a steel place), square steel tube, etc, then er70-6 seems to work fairly well. This presumesyou use gas (argon-Co2 mix). No gas, then flux-core. !0-12 pound spools fit fine - mine currentlyhas one - and there's an adapter for the smaller spools.Aluminum, stainless - that wants the spool gun. Those will wish appropriate wires and shielding gasses-and I've not yet tried THOSE (the metals AND the spool gun.)

I got a full spool of 4wt on mine. But...there is NO room for backing. Works great!

Check your local code (or ask an electrician at your home improvement store of choice). Where I live the code is #10 bare copper wire. The device will take that size.

I used 18 and 16 wire size. I didn't like the screws that are used to hold the wire. Not well made. I use this for my Kayak battery to run my fish finder.

I can't say officially, but the metal is not too thin. I'd guess as much as a 12 AWG wire could handle would be fine. They're cheap enough you can just test one to failure and report your results.

I would suggest using the same gauge low voltage speaker wire that came with the speakers or better yet a little larger gauge wire ( lower gauge number (#14) is a larger wire & less resistance than (#16) if you are going a very long distance between the speakers. I have not purchased a spool for a while but standard #16 gauge insulated wire will probably do what you need and Amazon or Wal-Mart probably has a 100 ft. spool available online or in the store. Hope this helps!

I bought them for wire leader. I also found them too large and bought a pair of electrical strippers/crimpers that worked great. I was doing light work with 10 pound test and small #2 barrel crimps.

#6 wire will work fine. You can always go up on wire size, just not go to small. The lugs on that unit will work with #6.

yes it's probably perfectly capable of being that kind of wire if I were you I would make sure it's the right size, same guts.. then if you are brave you can splice the wires. If you don't wanna damage anything I suggest just buying a longer connector. I checked my 18 gauge wire and the molex wires in my tower and they look the same. Now you just got to see if the molex guts are copper, Just to play it safe. But that's no fun. I say try it and cover the wires with Elec. Tape. WootenburgGood luck

I basically use 24 and 26 gauge wire. The tools should be fine with larger gauge, but I would suggest getting a more heavy duty cutter for larger gauge.

Google your brand, LST400, and see what you come up with. That is how I found my spools. If you have a model or serial number, you will get what you need by googling that.

I use a lot of 16 thru 12 ga. wire depending on current draw. Connectors are available very heavy current to the lighter stuff, i.e., 22 ga. Do a search and see. de K0xxx

Hi Sharon, with out knowing the project your planning to use the wire on I can not answer your question. I can say from my experience that this Stainless steel wire worked great when I was making odd shape filters. It held its shape after many handlings. ..........Ron

I recommend the 10lb on the Trio 30s and 12lb on the Trio 40s. Spider Wire Ultra Cast monofilament is a good choice of line. 12lb test has the diameter of 8lb test & the 10lb test has the diameter of 6lb test which increases casting distance. Reel size depends on species you are fishing for, 30s great for Bass, trout, etc. 40s is better for bigger fish 10-20lb fish, keep in mind 40s has a 20lb drag system. Hope this helps.

don't try to splice them...if that is your intent to try and figure out the wire gauge size. splicing is hit or miss...usually miss, especially if you are an average do it yourself without proper tools. just figure out the length you need, and order the size you need. even for custom applications, it is easier to order the length than trying to make one. these cables are cheap enough now not to try and bother with the aggravation. amazon makes these in 3ft, 6ft, 9ft, 15ft, and 25ft lengths and they are very inexpensive.

Jack H. says it all in his response. For 50 ft length, 12 gauge is the minimum, 10 gauge wire would be better.

I believe it will work on 8,9, 10, 11 gauge wire as stated on the posting. However, contact the manufacture to confirm. Their website is http://www.finishlinefence.com/accessories.htm
