Perfect thickness for the job.
Came with 3 .015 dia rods. I only needed about an inch to fix an autopilot switch assy and did the job. Measured at .015 as required.

Perfect for diy
Used for a diy tension gauge. Nice to know I can count on the properties of this wire.

Not strong enough for my original purpose
I ordered the 0.032" diameter music wire to make shepherd's hooks for miniature pottery birdhouses. The wire is not strong enough. It bends too much. Having a conversion to the gauge of wire would have helped me steer clear of this wire. I found one that says 0.032" diameter is equivalent to 20 gauge wire. I needed something at least 16 gauge or thicker that would not bend as much. (And I found some floral wire at Michaels that works very well.) I plan to use the music wire to make some small mobiles with pottery.

I bought these for a model railway application - As a throw wire for servos that throw turnouts. It's a great gauge and easy to work with as long as you have something to cut it with.
