The product description mentions 5% steel. Which part is made of steel? If it's a wire, how well is it hidden. I am concerned is may pierce my liner.

The wire has not been a problem, is hidden inside rubber tubing. However, the inside mesh is very flimsy and rips quickly.

I believe the metal is part of the contructed flexible cord that give the float its shape. There are not metal pieces that stick out to puncture anything. If you broke the cord then it might be a puncture hazard but then the float wouldn't work either because it wouldn't hold its shape. We like ours and have bought several.

The steel goes around the outside to keep it rigid. It is covered with the nylon material, so it shouldn't pierce anything.

Honestly, I hadn't even noticed a 'wire', but I suppose it is around the outside (the frame) and it is well covered & padded, from my experience. I think it will be fine.

Someone in the reviews said that it is copper clad aluminum. That is the best reason for me to avoid it. Aluminium (or for us Yanks, aluminum) is the one metal that I have found impossible to solder. The most durable insulated wire is "oxygen free." That means that the bright, shiny wire is encased in plastic, and if it is copper, I can solder the stripped-off ends to make them free from oxydation as well as a much better, solid, electrical connection.

I think this was made with steel that is chrome plated. I looks like stainless but it does stick to a magnet so therefore it probably has steel underneath. I hope that helps.

It's steel,make sure you superglue all your connectors. A coat of outdoor paint is important or it will turn white in 6 months. You wouldn't believe all the bugs and birds this thing has stopped.

Without a doubt...Blade and handle liner is a 440C Stainless which is approx. 80% iron; .95-1.2% Carbon; etc. - This is a high carbon martensitic stainless steel, with moderate corrosion resistance good strength and the ability to obtain and keep excellent hardness (Rc 60) and wear resistance...great for knives (when heat-treated properly.) Bottom line is, steel is a ferrous metal because of its iron content (around 80% in this case), and as such, would easily be noticed by any metal detector. Magnets are only attracted by ferrous metals...try it with a neodymium magnet and it will attach itself in a heartbeat and give a pretty decent fight to remove it from the blade.

It is made of steel . If this is for the product made by Pip Posse, the thread is metric. I have 2 mounted in my trailer and two mounted in my van to hold spare wheel sets for dirt bikes. Good product.

I have no idea what the product is you are asking about? I have bought a steel brake line recently and it was stainless steel. It is a line 5/16 in. about 25 ft long? You shape it to follow what your brake line needed. There were no prefab ones for our truck. It was not a hard job, I helped my husband. Just kind of tedious with the ends, you have to get them just right, but not hard.

I happen to have the unused roll here at my desk, so I fumbled around trying to find the end inside the box. (I found the tool in there that I claimed was not included in my review) I cut the end, melted back the tiny little jacket on one of the wires and nipped the end. I'll be darned... it is copper coated aluminum! The cut end is not copper, it is aluminum color. The outside of the wire IS copper. No where on the box does it indicate one way or another. It works well. We strung it up between two buildings about 6 mos. ago and have had no issues. I hope this helps.

The wire it came with is ok, but when I bought this same welder in 2013 I bought this wire: INETUB BA71TGS .035-Inch on 2-Pound Spool Carbon Steel Gasless Flux Cored Welding Wire This wire doesn't splatter as much as the wire that came with it. I am on my second roll and it works great!

There is no doubt in my mind that it is copper. I've worked with copper wires all my life and I know it when I see it. You can purchase it with confidence.

Very good. All metal parts no wires. Much better than the less expensive one they make. I do not agree with person that previously answered

Its stainless steel I did not see any solder lines I dont know how or why you would use a liner.

I dont remember it. Sorry.but it is a very useful product and its use has not had any problems the steel.

It is a thick wire, thought the plastic coating is somewhat weak. I'm guessing 14 gauge.

Hi Sandi. The wire I received was not vinyl coated, but instead has a galvanized (metal) coating for rust resistance, and which of course is somewhat silver/gray in color. The wire is indeed welded at the seams, though. Hope that helps!

it is 18 gauge with a heavier plastic covering. it had worked well for me over the past 6 months, but will break. I would have gone with the heavier wire, but actually thought this was 14 gauge.

Hi Sharon, with out knowing the project your planning to use the wire on I can not answer your question. I can say from my experience that this Stainless steel wire worked great when I was making odd shape filters. It held its shape after many handlings. ..........Ron
