kingsuv Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 My opinion of the super high, super thin strand count is that it sucks. The super thin strands are like trying to stand up a wet noodle in a cup. I find that the wire will not keep its position as you twist it together long enough to cleanly get it into a terminal. Where the standard K stranding will hold it's shape just fine. i have also noticed that it does not lock into a terminal quite as tight as a larger stranding wire. If you are using a quality welding wire, it will be just as flexible if not more flexible then any other wire in the market. Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulman07 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'd have to agree with king on this one... https://weldingsupply.securesites.com/cgi-bin/einstein.pl?Next::1:UNDEF:OR:terms::PA#A2 is where I now purchase all of my wire from. It's a bit cheaper and just as flexible in most cases. Unless you need it to make loops all day long of course.. 1993 Chevrolet SWB Pickup Viper 791XV Primer Stage 5/8 Static Drop Kinetik HC1800 Big 3 Knu Flex 0 Team Tex Flex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
