Husband uses for powdercoating business, holds up to the abuse. Easy to cut and clip. Nice size, pretty rust resistant. Be careful about it unrolling

I made two out of one and use the cables for pulling trees and they have performed. Great! I’m glad I made the purchase and the price was terrific.

I’ve purchased this cable before from different places and it’s the same brand yet double or triple the price. This was a great purchase and I use this to hang rabbit cages, bird feeders and also used it for my hunting blind also.

I was finishing up a wired security camera set up on my property, and wanted to run 4 of the lines to mount cameras off the tall roof of my shop. So put them in wire loom, and loosely zip tied them to a taught line of this cable,,,worked great. And now no pressure is on the camera cables. This cable appears to be as good if not better than store bought, and at a very small portion of the price youd pay at a box store. Im very happy with it, I just ordered a barrel crimp kit for future projects with it.

This wire is perfect for a zip line application. I did weeks of research in order to engineer a longer zip line than usual. For such zip lines over 200’ they specify a wire size larger due to safely/liability issues. They recommended at least a 5/16” steel air-craft cable up to 300’.Background of project:Needless to say I built a zip line from scratch. This project was a gift for my son for his b-day.Initially I wanted to run a 5 to 6 hundred foot cable across a pond, due to affordability I could not get the 600’ of steel 1/2” aircraft cable. So cable cost became the determining factor for length no less than 200’.I had been looking at the 1/4” cable when I read an article about wire size versus ride comfort. The larger the wire the smoother the ride. Though there are cons to this (less flexibility, additional weight, additional support, added cost) they didn’t out weight the pros (#1 is always safety, smoother ride). While looking on Amazon for 5/16” cable I saw they had this product used at the Amazon warehouse stating container damage at a lower price, so I took a chance. I was sceptical that someone would return a reel of wire for the spool being damaged and figured they had cut a few feet (what they probably really needed) off the end returning the rest, for any acceptable reason.When the spool arrived I rolled it out in the yard, I had by this time located a suitable location measuring 230’, and it surpassed the marked area by a considerable length roughly 20’. This was great. Location was then expanded for the longer length wire.End connections:To terminate the ends I bought the 5/16” crimp-ons, some eyelet inserts, (2) 2 jaw carriage bolts. All of which is on Amazon.I chose to use the crimp on style connectors as they have the greatest hold with the least amount of structural wire damage, roughly 5-7% compared to as much as 20%+ from the clamp style.Wire was in great shape upon arrival after rolling the wire out I walked it wearing gloves. As the line slid through the gloves there was only one strand stuck out of the wire about a 1/4” halfway through, this was a tiny barb, possible was part of manufacturing the end of a strand. No problem!Note:Upon arrival the wire looked to be stainless after roughly a week in the weather (light rain, temperature range 30-87 degrees Fahrenheit - what can I say southern weather) the wire appears more galvanized and has lost its shine.Cutting:Best tool for cutting is a set of hardened lineman’s pliers. Bolt cutters will work but the stands are fine so if the jaws don’t meet some strands maybe left intact.
