Wire for the ages

Now THIS is armature wire! I bend it, and it stays there! I put clay on it, and it sticks! It came in a coil, JUST AS ADVERTISED! I am deliriously happy! Really! I'm so happy I'm hallucinating! Make it stop!

I use it as a fastener

There is a certain product I deal with professionally and I install this product. For decades the manufacturer supplied some wire like this with each unit to faciliate the installation. I did not know at the time it was called armature wire. Later they stopped supplying the wire and switched to different installation methods which I found to be inferior, so I sought out a source of the "hyperflex wire". I found Ook aluminum wire at the hardware store. Nice packaging, but the wire broke much too easily after just a little twisting. Finally with research I figured out the thing I needed was called sculptor's armature wire. Found the Amazon listings for Jack Richeson, and the 1/16" seemed about right. Received the product and yes, this is the wire I used to get and the same size. Torture tested it, it performs beautifully. It vastly outperforms the Ook product. I doubt there is a better quality wire of this type.

Easy to work with, strong and flexible

Bought this to make a movable felt figurine. Worked amazingly! First time I've ever used anything like this and it was easy to work with.

It works.

If stop motion armature wire is what you need, then this is the only stuff I have found that works. All of the other wire that I have bought at hobby shops or box stores do not last through much bending. This wire does, however.

Love this😍

Love this..have more on order..so make sure you get extra, as you will want more. ....just recieved my 2nd order adding a photo thus time I ordered 4 😉😄😃

Works great for many uses!

I’d never heard of armature wire until my son needed some in college for his stop-motion animation puppets. It turns out that it’s very important for good results and it turns out that this wire was just what my son’s professor used! Since then, it’s been used successfully for multiple projects!

Nice Sturdy Wire, works great!

I use this mostly to make clay sculptures. It's easy to bend and cut, works great for what I need. I've also used thinner gauges of the same wire for wire wrapped jewelry that has come out well!

Good quality and value

I bought the wire to use as support for when modeling with clay. I needed something thicker than most of the jewelry wire I saw in craft stores. This came with a great amount for the money and was easy to bend and work with using my bare hands.
