Will this wire rust?

Yes, even high carbon steel will rust in the right conditions. However, I have been using it in a cheese slicer, including dishwasher cleaning, and have not had any rust form.

Yes. It must certainly can. I have kept my application clean and dry and have had no issues. I will apply a light coat of oil if I need to store for any length of time in the garage or shed.

I cannot confirm or deny that it might rust. I have mine hung on a wall in my lanai, so it is covered and away from the sun and elements. I have only had it about one month so it is hard to tell what wear and tear it might encounter.

Mine has not rusted, but it stays in my linen closet (away from moisture) most of the time and I don't put wet items in it.

No, it won't rust but I've had to replace mine because it dropped and the screw to the head broke... and they don't sell replacement parts as far as I've found. So just be careful with it because it's not indestructible. :)

I have not had any rusting.You can extend the plastic black tubing out past the metal tip to prevent any rusting.Hope that helps, Ric

It should not rust. I have had two of these in my freezer for a year and both are in perfect shape. I am ordering two more for the remaining freezer shelves.

Never is a problem. It dries between uses--It doesn't rust if that is what you are afraid of.

Mine have never had any rust on them. I just clean them with a wire brush before each use and they are good to go. I've had them for over a year.

I haven't seen any rust issues so far. Buying better hardware certainly won't hurt anything, but I would recommend using some type of thread lubricant to protect the exposed threads as you would in any other outdoor application.

Yuri, I have several of these in various sizes and I usually hand wash them with regular dish soap and let them air dry in a dish drainer. In most cases the wire clamps have not rusted, but two of them have. I'm not sure why. The only explanation I can come up with is that the wire had a rust resistant coating that wore off after repeated washing. The rust was superficial and came off with a steel wool pad. Now I make sure to dry them thoroughly. I hope this information is helpful.

I have had mine for more than a year, use it at least once daily, and have never had any problems with rust.

I'm into my second year and it hasn't rusted - yet. We have added less expensive fencing, but similar in look, from Lowe's. Within a month it has rusted where the sections connect. This has not.

no, it will lightly rust if you don't dry it good.I clean mine up with "Bar Keepers Friend" and looks like new.

I have only had it for a short time, but so far no. It's stainless steel so it shouldn't rust.

Well wipe it off at after usage and put some oil on the blade and you won't have rust problems. I keep mine stored in its sheath and I have never had rust

Yes, it's my understanding this wire is rated to be buried in the ground. I buried mine several months ago and have had no problems.

Aluminum and plastic so it probably won't rust. But I haven't done this so I can't cite personal experience.
