Electronix Express Authentic Stranded Hook Up Wire Kit (Tinned Copper) 22 Gauge (6 Different Colored 25 Foot Spools Included), 150 Ft

It is exactly as described, which is exactly what you'd want in a product. It is tinned copper, so it's easy to solder to and has good conductivity. PVC is not bad as an insulator for protection of the wire, but it does shrink and become soft when heated to soldering temperatures. This doesn't seem to be as bad as other PVC insulations in other products, however. The colors are vivid and distinct from each other which really helps.

If you compare prices on how much a similar assorted 22 AWG kit cost, you'll find this kit very competitively priced, but with the convenience of home delivery. For $20, you also get a handy cardboard dispenser; its pictured incorrectly as the holes at the rear of the box are what you use to spool out the wire, otherwise you won't be able to close the box.A problem buying wire is while it can be found online most anywhere, the savings is lost on shipping and handling cost. The maker of this wire sells each spool individually for $1.50, but will ramp up quickly to over $20 for 6 due to shipping and handling. So if you need a fast fix and aren't stockpiling wire, you can't beat this kit.Beware the specs rate the insulation of this wire only to 300VAC rms, so if used to service 240V AC appliances, you should supplement the insulation with good electrical tape.

I used this wire to build a time-travel machine. The need for a time-travel machine became apparent when I realized that my best days were behind me. Even my food choices have become a problem. For instance, the best pizza I ever had was from a now defunct pizza vendor called Pizzamania. Spicy, savory, crust good enough to eat from stem to stern (no stray pieces left on the plate), and plenty of mozzarella. Similarly, there is no good place to get take-out fish and chips since Tony's Sea Chef was closed down to make room for a new apartment complex.A time-travel machine would enable me to go back to the days when both Pizzamania and Tony's Sea Chef were still selling what I need.My time-travel machine isn't working yet--I have some ideas, and will keep working on it. I hope the orange color of the wire insulation isn't preventing proper flow of electrons.

I always have trouble with these kinds of products and picturing it mentally. I knew it was going to be a box with wire in it, but I guess it was smaller than I thought it would have been. In reality, it's not, because it's only 25' of each color. The wire is a small gauge, so 25' isn't all that impressive to look at. Fortunately, I don't need to look at my wire cache, I just need to use a little of it in a project. This box keeps it nice and neat, which is exactly what I wanted and needed in my project. Keep electrical work clean! The color selection is great. Can never go wrong with red and black. Great for small projects.

This is a very handy set of 6 spools for hobby work. Every work bench should have a set of these. The spools are sturdy plastic on a wooden rod. It's easy to pull out. I recommend wrapping the box with 2" packing tape to make it a little more durable and water resistant, since it's a cardboard box. I used it for wiring low powered LED lighting for cars and lawnmowers, which need a flexible copper wire and a variety of colors. It can handle up to 70 watts at 12 volt DC, which now includes a lot of inexpensive and unbreakable LED spot lights and work lights. in my case, it's license plate lights and tiny work lights for dark recesses of my lawn mower.

Pretty decent wire for a beginner. Gauge of wire was off slightly but not enough for it to matter to me. It varied from spool to spool by about a single gauge. I've seen a lot of reviews that said the wire was full silver, which honestly I was kinda hoping for. Silver is a better wire then tinned copper. However, mine ended up being just plain old tinned copper. Not saying they didn't get silver, but saying that I didn't... so take that however you wish. The box has holes in both front and back to feed cable... but honestly the front holes are useless. Back works fine. No issues with stripping the cable yet, and it seems to hold up well. I've been using it for Custom HPA systems in Airsoft guns without a single hitch yet. Giving it a three star mainly due to the inconsistent gauge of wire in my box. Not enough to matter for me, but could be a pretty big issue for others.

No other way to put it, the project is awesome! Wish rolls had twice the length of wire on each as there never seems to be enough for those long runs, but I must say the box is perfect for rolling out and cutting off just what you need. The photo is a bit misleading. There are holes on the front and the back, but you can't close the lid using the front holes as in the photo. If you use the holes on the back, the lid closes nicely, and you can stack them on your rack for easy rollout and cut.

If you need stranded multi-color wire, this is will do. It's great for prototyping. The insulation strips well (easy enough to work with). But mostly, I like convenience and packaging - very handy. It is cost effective when working on small projects that benefit from multi-colors. It is easy enough to twist your own pair of wires. I also have the matching "solid wire" version of this product - it makes a great setup.
