Really good wire rope, but I feel this is too thin for trellises and similar because it has a tendancy to cut into softer objects, even if threading directly through wood, it has the ability to dig in under tension. Otherwise really versatile stuff for projects around the shop and yard and farm, etc., just know when to use something thicker.

This is a review for 316 Stainless Steel Cable, 400FT 1/32IN Wire Rope with 100Pcs Aluminum Sleeves Stops, 7 * 7 Strand Metal Wire Rope Cable for Deck Railing, String Lights Hanging, Clotheslines, Trellis WireThis is a relatively lightweight and easy to work with size of wire. It should last virtually forever in almost any environment due to being made of 316 stainless steel. I tested it's resistance to corrosion using many different household chemicals including 40% vinegar and it stood up well.I am using this to replace the failing wire trellis for a vineyard. The original was just solid galvanized wire which eventually rusted but I expect that I will never have to replace this one. Be sure that you have (or get) a quality crimper for the aluminum sleeves - the pliers in the product information photos are not going to do the job.

The "cable" is pretty thin and very smooth. Easy to handle and no danger of cutting yourself on a rough metal surface. In spite of it's thinness it can handle holding 100 lbs. I used mine to tie back some sagging branches on my huge lilac tree.Securing the ends to fasten them to an anchor like a screw loop or post is where you'll have difficulty since it's pretty springy. You will not be able to wind it around the anchor like picture framing wire. For that you will need crimping loop sleeves. Fortunately, they include a bag of 100. Getting a secure loop is difficult using pliers as they are hard to crimp it so it doesn't slip; so plan on getting some crimping pliers if you don't already have them.

There are some items every household needs, braided wire is just one of those.It may seem a bit pricey, but when taken in account the amount you're getting, even that one store we all know can't compared or compete with this deal.Then add the included sleeves and it's pretty much a no brainer.Definitely recommended.

Braided stainless steel cord. Not sure of 1/16" size as I laid a piece over the tape measure it looks thinner than that. It is however very strong and could be used to secure things on a semi-permanent basis. The wire is the diameter of picture-hanging wire and would handle heavy pictures with ease.

This 400" roll of cable will be handy for many of my projects. It was well packaged and fits well on my workbench

This is a thin but strong stainless braided cable. I ordered this to have on hand for general use around the house and garden. I will be using this in my garden to create a grid to support my tomato plants and also for basket hangers. The included sleeve stops are good for creating loops with the cable to hang on steel hooks. This can be used to hang pictures indoors and make lasso loop hangers for cables as well.Likes- Strong and lightweight- Rust resistant stainless- Included aluminum crimp fittings- Handy to have around with many usesDislikes- None

Though doubtless I will find multiple uses for this wire rope, my primary application in mind is for an almost-weightless, extremely thin, long-wire monopole shortwave-reception antenna that hopefully will be almost invisible to my neighbors. I've carefully considered the design, and am satisfied that this will work well.I have verified the claimed breaking strength of this wire rope using my 'poor man's' tensile strength tester, as described in the footnote.* In my test of the product wire rope, it broke at approximately 95 pounds tension. Within the experimental error inherent in my 'poor man's' rig, this finding verifies the seller's 100 pound breaking strength claim. HOWEVER, the WORKING strength of wire rope is typically engineer-specified conservatively as 1/8th or 1/9th of the breaking strength (safety factors of eight or nine), meaning that it's safest not to use this very thin wire rope for loads any greater than 1/8 X 100 lbs = 12.5 lbs!__________________________________* My 'poor man's' tensile strength test rig is configured with the following components connected vertically in the following order, from top to bottom:1. A 10 inch joist in my basement ceiling2. A sturdy eyebolt and ring screwed into the 10 inch joist.3. A 4X-mechanical-advantage block and tackle..4. A 100-pound-capacity spring balance attached at top to the bottom of the block and tackle.5. A means to attach the test sample to the bottom hook of the spring balance.6. THE SAMPLE TO BE TENSILE TESTED7. Means to attach the test sample to an anchor embedded in the concrete floor.8. An anchor embedded in my basement's concrete floor.I perform a tensile test test by continuously watching the reading on the spring balance as I slowly advance the pull-rope of the block and tackle, and observing when the sample breaks/deforms/etc.
