### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for fixing odd jobs.
*by C***4 on September 25, 2024*

Perfect wire that I used to fix an old cheese slicer. The pack of four wires will last longer than me lol. Thanks for making this available K&S.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Use to show things flying on HO layout
*by H***T on March 22, 2025*

Was going to use to elevate ducks and geese on HO scale layout, ducks and geese were too small to make a hole for wire, will use this for something else, stiff, but easy to form

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Music wire: .015 diameter
*by B***R on August 30, 2012*

Although this shows up as a toy, I was not using it as a toy, but to fabricate the trigger return spring on an LC Smith double barrel shotgun. The wire replaced a flat spring that was .015 thick. It worked perfectly and solved the problem of no trigger return spring being available. It's not what it is......It's what you make of it.
