Does this wire holds its shape? I need 1mm or .037in wire to make pushrods for my rc plane

Yes, in it's default state it is very stiff. You may actually have trouble getting it straight enough for making pushrods because of the natural curve of the wire its packaging. Since the wire is high carbon steel, it should respond well to annealing and re-hardening if you are willing to put that much work into it.

Don't know, haven't tried to do that. My guess is that it should provided they are not real long

High Carbon Steel Wire, #2B (Smooth) Finish, Full Hard Temper, ASTM A228, 0.037" Diameter, 68' Length, Precision ToleranceThis is Precision Steel brand and VERY good USA quality. This link above is the plain music wire size You need. This is a VERY good quality wire and is one that supplies to a number of famous guitar and bass string companies in bulk to manufacture electric strings for those instruments.

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.

Yes it is solid not stranded wire. I imagine stranded wire could be used along as it had some good insulation made for in ground installation. I imagine the insulation around the wire is the most important part of the whole thing and solid core is cheaper to produce.

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.

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)

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.

Works just fine on mine. it's just a wire splice, so as long as your wire gauge isn't too big, you'll be fine. And I think I have 14 gauge wire, the biggest there generally is.

Yes it should work just fine. I use it on tiny 18 gauge (1/4" and smaller) wires.

It is 1/2" and the wires on mine were 4 to 5 inches. One of my wires pulled out and I had to re solder it so be careful with that.

Not sure of the wire size but it's plenty for a 12V system. The terminal holes are good for 1/4" or 5/16" posts.

The bottom of the wire/foam circles measures about 3/8" from the base. Should work fine in 1" water. FYI - The wire that spins has two little foam circles on it...to be lightweight, yet create more 'disturbance' in the water than just a wire might.

NO! I had to work at getting 4/0 wire in the connectors. I believe they make one for 1/0, just make sure it specifies it.

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!(:

The CCA makes it to where this is aluminum wire stranded that is wrapped in copper. It's a lot thicker but cheaper than the same load of wire made of solid or stranded copper. it's also quite flexible. It says it's Rated for 250A load @ 20' so you need to decide on the load you're trying to pull with this wire and the run of it as well.

I'm also using.035 wire with mine. You will need to run a bit hotter then what you chart calls for.

The 12 gauge wire is really thick. It is about the thickness of a rubber hair tie. I think you need like 18 gauge or smaller. Wire is smaller as the gauge gets higher.

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.

It should. I've seen them wired at fry's electronic with thick gauge wire, mine use a thinner gauge and it works just fine. There s plenty of room on the binding posts you shouldn't have a problem
