Nice high quality wire! Very flexible and easy to work with. I used this wire to run my batteries in series on my 700 class helicopter.
Very flexible, and high quality wire. Can't beat it for the price!
Very flexible with a strong jacket. Couldn't ask for a better wire!
Good wire, standard stuff assuming from China. Not protek labeled insulation. Only complaint is no red/black combo available like the 12 awg.
The outer diameter of what I received is 4.4 mm and not 4.0 mm as described.
Reviewers generally rate this black silicone hookup wire highly for flexibility, build quality and ease of soldering, and several describe it as good value. Reviews span several gauges (8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 AWG), so feedback applies to different variants. One reviewer found the outer diameter larger than listed (4.4 mm versus 4.0 mm). Another said it is less stiff than Tamiya wire, and one felt it was overpriced relative to hardware store wire. One reviewer noted the insulation is not ProTek-labelled and that a red/black pair is not offered in this variant. One 8 AWG reviewer had not yet tested the wire.
