We recommend zinc coated galvanized steel wire between 14 and 20 gauge. The 14 gauge wire is the most sturdy while the 20 gauge is very easy to work with for smaller or lightweight job.
16 or 17 gauge will work for most repairs and is a good size for about 90% of Haywire Klamper projects, which is why we include this size wire with our tool!
We offer custom made wire for the Haywire Klamper on our online store here.
Even though the tool is called the Haywire Klamper, we do not recommend bailing wire for use with the tool. Bailing wire will work with the tool for simple jobs like
temporary binding of lumber (like firewood) or items to be welded that don't require the permanent hold of galvanized steel.
We do not recommend bailing wire because of the low strength rating and bailing wire has the tendency to rust almost immediately after exposure to the elements.
