Lead is present in the product
3/5

I was disappointed to learn that the item came with a lead warning and that children under the age of 12 should not handle the wire; my 12-year-old son, who received the item as a gift, was also irritated by the situation. Next time, I'll use copper.

This wire is my favorite because it is both flexible and strong
5/5

I've used it on a number of occasions and was delighted to discover it again! br>My only concern is whether or not there is really 50 feet of wire.

I'll be back for more! Perfectly flexible yet strong, and not too tightly wound so it comes off the roll crimped and weird
