Hi @forum, I've been using stainless steel wire for quite some time now. The advantages mainly are its strength and durability. However, stainless steel wire can be a bit hard to bend. That's the only issue I have. ? Forum

Hey @forum, for wire wrapping especially, stainless steel wires are superb! They resist tarnishing and scratches really well. But do keep some nylon jaw pliers on hand to lessen any marks on the wire as you work with it. Forum

Stainless steel isn't the easiest to work with, especially for beginners but once you get the hang of it, it's fantastic! The end design looks pretty classy and elegant. ? Forum
