I use this stuff for a dozen different purposes, including making hardened scribers, small chisels and flat blade screwdrivers. I killed a couple pairs of wilre cutters trying to cut it, even after annealing a spot, so usually I use a cold chisel and hammer to score it hot, one strike and it breaks when you bend it. As its plain high carbon steel, hardening is best done with water; tempering with a torch goes very quick and its easy to overshoot your target temperature but with care and a little practice you can get repeatable results. For chisels I aim for straw at the blade and dark blue on the shank, with screwdrivers I go for purple at the blade for better toughness. Brazing it is very easy and can be accomplished with propane because it's so thin. By putting tension on a length and heating it up to glowing from one end to the other you can get very straight annealed sections, I recently used this technique on about 5' to build a reducer for a blower fan to use as a charcoal forge air supply. 0.059" is a good size for armatures and frames, and about the smallest that's useful for hand tools. Of course it also makes very nice springs, either by just coiling it around a form without heat treating at all, or by first annealing, then coiling, hardening, and finally tempering to electric blue. An indispensable consumable for the shop.

I read how to remove grout around sinks when they need to be replaced. I purchased this to make my own grout remover. Take a section of this wire and fasten securly to two short pieces of dowl and work it like a saw
