10 Gauge/2.6 mm 10 Feet 5 oz 99.9% Dead Soft Copper Wire for Electroculture Gardening, Jewelry Making, Beading, Science Projects, DIY Artwork, Pure Bare Copper Wire

Exactly as described. Larger gage that I used for electroculture in my backyard garden I ordered 2 not realizing that I would only need one roll for what I was doing. Difficult to roll by hand, pliers worked best for me. Easy to cut with diagonal cutters.

Great for wire wrapping.

Easy to work with. Beautiful color. Used it for wire garden plant art project. Will order again.

Great for the garden.

This wire is very stiff. None of my jelery cutters could cut it. I not only needed to use my son’s toolbox wire cutters, but I got blisters trying to cut it, and had to have my son cut it for me. He also got blisters.If that is what you are looking for, then do it.My problem was that it was not even raining, and it was delivered in a paper bag and it was wet. I was going to return it in case it tarnished, but it didn’t and I kept it. I made a spiraled bracelet that I used to practice weaving and design. What was in my head as a very very new beginner of jewelry design was not possible. But it is so strong that I was able to practice things I was learning, like weaving and wire lacing for butterfly wings, and I plan to figure out a way to use it for making decorative hair combs for my daughter’s wedding.I’m telling you, it is very strong. I would never think of this as dead soft, I’d say you could make woven car chains with it. Which is not in my wheelhouse.If you have a hammer and anvil, it would hammer really hard. I just have a beginner jewelry hammer and steel plate, and this wire laughs in my face.

I'm not an expert on copper, but I have been working with it for about a year doing wire weaving. It definitely feels like 24g to me, but I don't have a digital caliper to check. It's soft and malleable enough that I think it probably is dead soft.The listing makes it kind of unclear whether it is bare or not, since it says the wire won't tarnish. It WILL tarnish, it WILL get darker with time as copper is supposed to without coating. I dipped a sample in liver of sulfur to make sure it oxidized fine and sure enough, it did. Pics included of the fresh wire and the oxidized piece fresh out of the liver of sulfur and after a little buffing with steel wool.It took longer to arrive than it was supposed to, which I usually wouldn't include since it's not part of the product itself, but I would be wary about the company claiming to provide 1-day shipping.

The media could not be loaded. I do not have too much to compare this pure copper wire to, besides with the harder anti-tarnish coated Beadsmith wire which are a different thing. This wire is 16 guage. It’s dead-soft and great to work with! I made 2 of these bracelets with this wire, and the thinner one with a different brand 20 guage wire. This 16 guage wire is perfect for hammering, shaping, and working it this way, it hardens giving the cuff bracelets a nice solid jewelry feel. It’s still bendable to adjust to your wrist, but hard enough that it doesn’t pull out or lose its shape. It’s the perfect thickness for my needs. I have not checked the size with a tool, but I am pleased with this buy. I also have not weighed this one before making jewelry with it so I cannot attest to accuracy. However, it does have A LOT of wire on the spool and it is a great bang for my buck with this one! I’d like to add that I also polished these bracelets after making them, with Flitz and a dremel to get this amazing shine!I compared & shopped beforehand, and I am very, very pleased with this product. I highly recommend it. I hope this review helps you.

Good quality
