If you want to tie knots get some 16 or 19 gauge. This is made to be beefy and have strength. It is supposed to be very rigid. It is easy to cut with a pair of 10 inch linemans pliers, but you are not going to cut it with dinky little household pliers. I use it formed and clipped around the doors of why rabbit cages. Why? It give the cage doors rigidity and spring back if a raccoon were to try to bend the cage door open. It's rigidity and strength is why you should buy it, not for artsy knot tying type of stuff. Don't expect this to bend easily for wire wrapping either. It's not flimsy like that. Use it for when you need strength. Garden hoops, Fence braces, things of that nature. Review: Great hobby wire, not magnet wire, not toxic - This is great hobby wire. I tried it out as magnet wire and it didn't cut it. It does conduct electricity but it's not insulated with the invisible epoxy (or lacquer) coating of magnet wire. And in response to the reviewer who gave this a low rating with the irrelevant comment falsely accusing copper of being toxic: Copper is not a toxic substance. That false information wrongfully scares people and incites panic. It should be removed. Copper is one of the safest substances known to humankind. Copper is far less toxic than iron. And our ability to breathe air depends on iron. For crying out loud! People can safely handle copper all day everyday without any concern whatsoever. Sucking on pennies before 1982 was much safer when they were made of copper instead of zinc. Now, swallowing a penny is a medical emergency. When pennies were copper, you could just wait for the penny to be "passed". (By the way the problem is that zinc is dissolved too quickly by the hydrochloric acid in our stomachs. You want toxic! There is nothing as toxic as hydrochloric acid. And every healthy human is carrying around a container of it all day everyday. OSHA should fine the entire population!) There is no evidence whatsoever that copper is absorbed through the skin through ordinary handling of products such as copper wire. Where is this nonsense coming from? Copper is absolutely not toxic. Pine trees and sunshine are far, far more toxic than copper -- really. Contrary to being toxic, copper is an essential micronutrient required for human health. Every multi-vitamin pill contains copper. The effects of copper on human health, animal health and the environment are fully understood. Copper is one of the good guys. No warning necessary. There is no OSHA guideline for the general population on copper unlike say, zinc. Copper, like any element is only a problem in crazy, hyper excessive amounts that do not occur with people not in the businesses that mine, process, heat, cut, sand, polish, etc. copper. People who work in flour mills develop more respiratory ailments from breathing wheat dust than copper miners breathing copper dust. Everything in excess is "toxic". Everything exposed over a prolonged period in an unusual manner such as breathing in flour in a mill or the .001% UV radiation that gets through 100% UV-blocking cockpit glass on airliners and gives some pilots skin cancer after 30 years of exposure (it really happens) is a problem. Everything can cause some people to have allergies, cause certain reactions and certain syndromes. Some people are allergic to pure air and pure water. All of these things are at the fringes of the spectrum. It is no more justified going around telling people "copper is toxic, be careful" than it is to say "distilled water is toxic, be careful". Think I'm being facetious? Google the studies of distilled water causing cancer on the skin of lab rats. Turns out, if you irritate skin of any animal with pure water long enough you are going to cause cancer. So should we call distilled water carcinogenic? Please! Life is not risk free and never will be. Copper is as safe as any stuff gets. Get the copper wire, make your project and increase your lifespan a little which is what really happens when you inject endorphins into your bloodstream when you feel that sense of satisfaction from creating something -- a uniquely human adaptation that started sometime after emerging from the stone age into the BRONZE AGE (bronze is mostly copper). ## Features - Use in DIY projects or anywhere in the workhouse, garden, or farm - Robust design ensures a strong hold - Wire tip: A thinner wire means the gauge will increase in size - 16-gauge wire in a 200 foot long roll - Holds up to 55 lbs ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001EX57ZK | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,754 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #31 in Electrical Wire | | Brand | OOK | | Brand Name | OOK | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 6,549 Reviews | | Finish Type | Galvanized | | Gauge | 16.0 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00049223501437 | | Grade Rating | Commercial | | Included Components | wire | | Item Dimensions | 16.9 x 9.4 x 9.5 inches | | Item Form | Coil | | Item Shape | Round Rod | | Item Type Name | utility wire | | Item Weight | 1.8 Pounds | | Manufacturer | OOK | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | 50143 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 50143 | | Recommended Uses For Product | DIY projects, bailing, tying, fencing | | Tensile Strength | 55 Pounds Per Square Inch | | UPC | 049223501437 | | Unit Count | 200.0 Feet | | Wire Diameter | 0.08 Inches | ## Product Details - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Color:** Silver - **Gauge:** 16.0 - **Brand:** OOK - **Finish Type:** Galvanized ## Images ![OOK 50143 Solid Utility Wire, 1 Pack, Silver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RtbDXMFiL.jpg) ![OOK 50143 Solid Utility Wire, 1 Pack, Silver - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hJGga5TjL.jpg) ![OOK 50143 Solid Utility Wire, 1 Pack, Silver - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JDzhDpyML.jpg) ![OOK 50143 Solid Utility Wire, 1 Pack, Silver - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eXLkRh15L.jpg) ![OOK 50143 Solid Utility Wire, 1 Pack, Silver - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TwgsVSQqL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this soft like craft wire or stiff like paper clips?** A: stiff...like heavy - duty paper clips **Q: How strong is it?

I take it camping for all sorts of reasons and comes in handy every time! Easily bendable and workable. good quality wire. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for using as hoops to hold up row cover in a garden *by M***E on July 8, 2023* I bought this to use to make hoops to hold up my row cover on my garden beds. I didn't want to go the PVC route and wanted something that didn't take up much room when I store it and this fits the bill. I just tied the bunch together and hang it on the fence when not in use. I but two rolls of it and that was good because you use it up fast because it's thick. I think I got maybe a dozen hoops 3 ft high out of a roll, maybe a little more. That corresponds to probably each piece 8 or so feet long when you count the foot they're in the ground on each side. It's strong enough that I can stick it straight in the ground a foot and it will maintain its shape. A lighter gauge I'd probably have to put a metal or PVC tube of some kind in the ground and put the wire inside the tube. One caveat: given the thickness of this gauge I had to buy a special cutter for it. This cutter just barely does the job but for the amount I need to use it I wasn't going to pay more than $10 - $12 for a$30 cutter that would go through it like butter. Don't think you're going to cut this with tin snips or dikes because you aren't. I might have gone one gauge lighter and it would have been easier to cut but I'm not sure it would hold up the row cover as well as it does. I'm using a hoop about every 2 1/2 to 3 ft. I will buy it again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stiff wire! *by G***X on April 27, 2025* This is very thick wire that I use to hold a bluebird nesting box in a tree. It worked perfectly. ## Frequently Bought Together - OOK 50143 Solid Utility Wire, 1 Pack, Silver - BOENFU 6-Inches Wire Cutters Heavy Duty Snips Flush Cut Side Cutters Pliers Metal Cutting Tool for Crafting, Floral, Artificial Flowers, Chicken Wire, Electrical, 1 Pack - OOK Galvanized Steel Hobby Wire (#18) 110' --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/15662689-ook-50143-solid-utility-wire-1-pack-silver](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/15662689-ook-50143-solid-utility-wire-1-pack-silver) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
