Description
- To keep track of different materials, mark each material with a different color of permanent marker. (Sharpies work great.)
- Any writing on wire or sheet is easily removed with acetone or fingernail polish remover.
- To prevent pliers from marring delicate, expensive materials: wrap a bit of tape around plier tips so they don't scrape or mar your wire. Nylon jaw pliers are also popular, and Tool Magic anti-scratch coating is a staff favorite!

Too tightly spooled
I love the sturdiness of this wire, but I wish it wasn't wound so tightly on a small spool. The tight coiling on the plastic spool makes it more difficult to work with when you remove it from the roll. I kept getting poked in the eye and cut my fingers because it would spin around so much. It took some extra time to straighten out enough to work with. A looser coil would make all the difference in the world.

Item just as described
This is my first time ordering SS wire. Half hard is a bit harder than I expected ...or maybe my fingers are a bit more tender!
