What we liked

  • + 18 Gauge copper hardens well when hammered for cuffs and hooks
  • + Uncoated wire takes patina and liver of sulfur finishes
  • + Reliable brand for consistent gauge and soft temper

Trade-offs

  • - Only 10 yd, so thick wire projects use it up quickly
  • - Bare copper needs polishing to keep a bright finish
