> 24 hourThis is one hefty spool of nice wire. Tons of uses around the farm for this stuff. The wire cutters seem good quality and hefty, as well. A bit pricey for the 1,000 ft roll, but then it is almost 50 lbs of steel wire. No complaints!

> 24 hourReview is for the 328 roll. Quality is better that any other SS wire I have ever used, with the finish on it being exceptionally smooth. I am using this to create deck railing cables around a raised outdoor tiki hut. I am also using this manufacturer’s cable railing hardware kit (ASIN # B09V448CKC). After cutting through this, it is in fact as advertised (7 sets of 7 strands/set). The advertised diameter is correct and it fits into my railing hardware as it should. Using a cable wire cutter I had no trouble cutting through this cleanly. The ends were in no hurry to unravel either, which makes installing this much easier. For those intending to un-spool off a rack mount, the spool hole diameter is 15/16. Spool width is 3.75. Too soon to comment on longevity, but so far my expectations are high.

> 24 hourFeels hefty! Used for a cable railing project and it worked the way it should. Project came out great. Swages held onto this cable no problem. No bends or kinks, just pure cable.

> 24 hourKudos to the delivery driver. This box, while small, felt like it had lead bricks in it. Thank you Amazon guy! I bought this for a specific purpose. I put up an antenna mast outside of a small workshop I recently built. It’s not like a 600-foot FM radio tower or anything. Just a 20-foot mast that I didn’t want to attach to the side of the building. I needed to run some guy-wires to keep it secure. I love that this spool come with cable cutters. I thought for sure they’d try to skimp on those but they were actually a pretty heavy-duty and durable pair of cutters. The wire rope is a good thickness to work with. Not too thick and stiff so that it’s easy to manipulate, but not so thin that I worry about it failing under load from wind or something. For my needs, it was just the right diameter. It was fairly easy to cut, no worse than other wire rope I’ve used. It went around a thimble nicely and was able to be crimped with the existing sleeves and crimp tool I had. I used some turnbuckles to ensure good tension. So far so good. I can’t speak to longevity while exposed to the elements but if this cable fails sooner than I expect it to, I will update my review.

> 24 hourI use a lot of aircraft cable in Theater rigging. This is excellent cable, standard construction, not just some weird wire. This will fit 1/8 inch Nicopress sleeves which is my preferred method of fastening. Cable clamps would also work. I do not usually use Stainless, but this would be good for outdoor rigging or sailboat rigging.

> 24 hourThis is a very heavy cable for its size. Doesnt comes with the connectors, but you get a lot of cable on this roll. I have a lot left over from my project of holding the shade cloth in place in my greenhouse. Would buy this again if this roll ever runs out.

> 24 hourI am planning on using this as deck railing with the swag lag bolts and sleeve protectors through the deck posts. The package comes with the cutter which is nice... and they seem to work pretty well. I just need crimpers to start on the projects, but this step one and a nice size marine grade (will not rust) wire rope.
