Features of 3.5 lb Stainless Steel Wire (16 Gauge)
Gauge Options (16 Gauge)
The availability of both 16 gauge and 18 gauge options provides versatility for different uses. The gauge of the wire determines its thickness and strength:
16 Gauge:
- Thicker (approximately 0.051 inches or 1.29 mm in diameter), offering higher tensile strength and is suitable for heavy-duty applications such as structural supports, fencing, and industrial uses.
Weight (3.5 lb)
- The wire is sold in a 3.5 lb coil, which is a convenient weight for many projects. This amount strikes a balance between having enough wire to complete substantial tasks without being too cumbersome to handle and store. For example, 3.5 lbs of 16 gauge wire would be shorter in length but stronger, whereas 3.5 lbs of 18 gauge wire would be longer but less strong.
Versatility in Applications
- Due to the different gauge options, this wire can be used in a broad spectrum of applications. The 16 gauge wire is excellent for tasks that require additional strength and support, such as building and agricultural projects.
Ease of Use
- Both gauges are designed to be user-friendly. Stainless steel wire can be easily cut, bent, and shaped with standard tools, making it accessible for both professional and DIY users. The 3.5 lb coil provides a manageable quantity that is easy to transport and store.
Aesthetic Appeal
- Stainless steel has a shiny, polished appearance that can enhance the look of finished products. This makes it an attractive choice for visible applications such as decorative fencing, artwork, and jewelry.
Temperature Resistance
- Stainless steel wire can withstand high temperatures without losing strength or becoming damaged. This makes it suitable for use in environments where heat resistance is crucial, such as in automotive or industrial settings.

Electrician here. That doesn't really have anything to do with this review. I just felt stating I was a tradesman would add more credence to my review.This is good tie wire. I'm currently using it to wrap a 20' X 50' carport in welded wire fencing. I chose SS tie wire so it wouldn't rust, since my building is subject to Central Florida weather (afternoon monsoon).My local home improvement retail stores do not carry SS versions, so I took a chance ordering this. I ordered two rolls in my first order and, after approving of the quality, ordered two more. The SS version is considerably more expensive than standard tie wire; but, for exposed and permanent installations, it's definitely worth the expenditure.

I bought this wire (16ga) to make accessories for my budgerigar (parakeet) cage. ss304 wire is food-grade and is non-toxic to birds who use their beaks to climb and explore.The wire is soft enough to cut and shape with side dykes but sturdy enough to hold its shape.I will find many uses beyond the bird toys.. grilling, fence-ties, etc!

Non-magnetic so it will not rust - Tensile strength is around 275 lbs - About 200 ft to the roll.I use this for a durable utility wire. I hang bird feeders with this wire and it drives squirrels nuts - they can't climb or chew the slick #16 stainless steel wire!This wire is strong (275 lb tensile strength) and good for just about every use that handy man wire could possibly have.

I actually purchased this to make bird toys. I saw another review saying it worked well for that purpose so I purchased it! It's the right amount of stiffness and thickness to use as the core of the toy. The fact that it's stainless steel means it's safer than other products available.

This is simply a great product for a fair price. Virtually indestructible and very strong. A bit hard to work with but that’s the price for such toughness
