Product Description

This bare copper wire is suitable for use in crafts or for electrical grounding wire use. This single-strand wire is annealed for improved ductility and meets QQ-W-343 standards for uninsulated copper wire. It also meets ASTM B3 standards for annealed copper wire and complies with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) regulations. This copper wire is suitable for use in crafts such as jewelry and weaving or for uninsulated wiring applications.

Electrical wire carries an electric current or grounds an electrical device. The amount of current a wire can carry is proportional to its size (gauge), and the wire is generally sheathed with coatings and coverings to insulate and protect it from moisture, chemicals, heat, and abrasion. Copper is the primary material for electrical wire, but alloys are sometimes used to increase its strength or its resistance to chemicals and the environment. Wire can be composed of a single strand or of many smaller strands, depending on its use, and is typically annealed to improve its ductility. Electrical wire is commonly used in industrial, electronic, and automotive applications.

Love this bare copper wire but recieved the wrong size accidentally
I'm giving it a 4 star only because i recieved the wrong gauge of wire.Overall, i love this copper wire, just needed the size i ordered.I ordered 22 gauge and recieved 18 gauge.Theres a sticker for 22 gauge wire stuck over the original label so i peeled it back and it says 18 gauge on the label underneath.I've been using this brand of copper wire for years and it is really nice wire for making wire wrapped jewelry.It darkens nicely in liver of sulphur to create an antique look.

This was perfect for my wire tree project. I enjoyed the fact that the thickness was perfect and easily to manipulate. The color is a bit shiny but one twisted and the beads are added it looks Great. I’ve done a lot of searching for the best price on this product and this is it right here! Delivery was fast as well!

I use this wire for making trees. It is soft enough to twist easily, but also holds its shape. There is enough on this one spool to make several trees of different sizes. I'm very pleased.

Good value. Works for wire weaving great.
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2014
Price, convenience (i.e.: spool), and quantity make this the best way to buy all gauges of copper wire for jewelry-making. This one, at 22 gauge, is about 166 yards. The same seller lets the shopper select all gauges from the same page. If you use copper, make your own jump rings, head pins and eye pins, etc., and wrap a lot, this is the way to go.

Nothing bad to be said. It's wire. It's solid. It's copper. It's 22AWG.
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2016
I used this as a grounding wire for elevated electrified fence, which discourages climbing squirrels. It works well but its gauge is less than I hoped for. This is my fault, not the manufacturer. The wire meets expectations.
