Does the wire have memory, ie, is it hard to straighten?

It is easily straightened by clamping one end in a vise and twisting 3-4 twists per inch with pliers or vise-grips while pulling it straight.

It is very hard to straighten....maybe a thinner gauge would work, but not this one.....unless you really have muscle power.

It's pretty simple a hard wire crimped inside a metal tube. I'm not sure how they can be different other than composition.

Yeah it does. Just be careful with the wire and don't get the screws mixed up.

Yes, there is a wire with a loop at the end. I had to attach a hook to my line to hand it.

Yes, I think so. It would take some effort, but definitely doable. The wire will bend, but it's quite stiff.

Not sure however it does require an Allen wrench to tighten. It seems to hold the wires firmly.

absolutely, get strong wire cutters, this is not flimsy wire mesh, its great wire. marisa

Yes, on one of the wires the words "monster cable" is written. You decide on which polarity the "plain" side is attached, or the "monster cable" side is attached.

Yes, the only tough part is the rubber gasket to route wire through the metal. I simply don't remove it to make it easier.

I cant speak as to guage, but the wire is strong. A grown man wouldnt be able to straighten it with his bare hands.

Without being in front of any packaging. I can only tell you this is very stiff wire that can be bent by hand, but much easier with pliers. We hang laundry on it in our laundry room.

Yes you can shape it to the area you need it to go. It is somewhat flexible.

I'm not sure. I purchased it thinking it was similar to paperclip wire. It wasn't. It is extremely stiff. I pitched it 2 minutes after opening it. I didn't try to bend it. I assume it would be difficult to do so. Like an electricians steel fish tape, it may snap trying to put such a sharp bend in it as a fish hook would require. But hey, for a few bucks, it's probably worth trying. Hope this helps.Tim R.

After looking at both wires and the sheathing there is no UL stamped on the product itself. One caveat to that, after receiving this request I went to the UL web site to do some research. This type of product normally wouldn't have the wires themselves stamped with UL. It would normally be the box or reel that were stamped. I do know that the electrical inspector that inspected my wiring was satisfied when he saw the CL2 rating. I've tried the wire and it works excellently.

No, but when I got it the wire that came with wasn't working. It's maybe six month and I use it everyday.

The wires are pretty small and equally brittle. However, I had no problem splicing and stripping them and I'm no expert. So it just takes patience and a steady hand

Very Thin, Mine has bent already, but it is still cutting. They do give you a second wire.
